Thoroughly revised and expanded, the new edition of this established textbook equips readers with a robust and practical understanding of experimental fluid mechanics. Enhanced features include improved support for students with emphasis on pedagogical instruction and self-learning, end-of-chapter summaries, 127 examples, 165 problems and refined illustrations, plus new coverage of digital photography, frequency analysis of signals and force measurement. It describes comprehensively classical and modern methods for flow visualisation and measuring flow rate, pressure, velocity, temperature, concentration, forces and wall shear stress, alongside supporting material on system response, measurement uncertainty, signal analysis, data analysis, optics, laboratory apparatus and laboratory practice. Instructor resources include lecture slides, additional problems, laboratory support materials and online solutions. Ideal for senior undergraduate and graduate students studying experimental fluid mechanics, this textbook is also suitable for an introductory measurements laboratory, and is a valuable resource for practising engineers and scientists in experimental fluid mechanics.

'This long-awaited second edition extends and updates an essential text in experimental fluid dynamics. The authors give expert guidance on all aspects of experimentation, clearly and completely. An ideal textbook for an advanced-level course, and required reading for everyone else, from undergraduates to experienced researchers alike.' Alexander J. Smits, Princeton University
'In 2005, I reviewed the first edition of Measurement in Fluid Mechanics by Professor Tavoularis. This welcomed second edition, now co-authored with Professor Nedić, also consists of two parts on background (Chapters 1–8) and measurement techniques (Chapters 9–15) but emphasises recent developments in instrumentation and data analysis. Therefore, the book has necessarily grown from 354 to 605 pages. Fortunately, the presentation style lends itself to instruction for undergraduates and self-learners by including numerous examples and chapter summaries. It will also ably serve as the textbook for an introductory graduate course in experimental fluid mechanics.' Louis Cattafesta, Illinois Institute of Technology
'Measurement in Fluid Mechanics is great for in-depth coverage of all measurement topics related to fluid mechanics. This is an excellent book for graduate students, but undergraduate students will also find enough information for their use. The book is very well organised and material is presented in a sequence that is easier to follow than in traditional books on this subject. There are numerous example problems that further clarify the underlying concepts. My favourite sections are 'Measurement Uncertaint' and 'Error Analysis. These complex topics have been explained in a form that is easy for both graduate and undergraduate students to follow and understand.' Mahesh Aggarwal, Gannon University

Stavros Tavoularis is a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Ottawa, where he has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in experimental fluid mechanics for more than forty years. Among other distinctions, he is a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada. Jovan Nedić is an Associate Professor in Mechanical Engineering at McGill University, where his teaching focuses on measurement techniques and statistical methods in undergraduate fluid mechanics. He was awarded the 2023 Wighton Fellowship for innovative, distinctive, and exceptional undergraduate laboratory course instruction in Engineering.
