Thirty-five years after its first publication, The Flow of Complex Mixtures in Pipes remains a fundamental resource for researchers and practicing engineers alike. Authors George W. Govier and Khalid Aziz present a unified approach to all types of complex flows in pipes, beginning with the underlying fundamentals and concluding with recommended design methods. This edition includes an updated preface and an overview of the major developments in the area since the book’s original publication date.
