Suresh Menon

Professor,
School of Aerospace Engineering

Dr. Suresh Menon, Professor, School of Aerospace Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology, received his B. Tech (1976) and M. Tech (1978) from the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur and his Ph.D. (1984) from the University of Maryland. From 1984 until 1992 he was a senior scientist at Flow Research Inc. (now called Quest Integrated, Inc.). At Quest, Dr. Menon led research teams in various research projects such as the active control of combustion instability in ramjet engines, supersonic mixing studies, vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) aircraft fluid dynamics, and hypersonic reentry problems. In 1992, he joined the School of Aerospace Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology as an Associate Professor. Professor Menon is a world renowned expert in large-eddy simulation of turbulent reacting and non-reacting flows and has developed unique simulation capabilities that are being used to study pollutant formation, ozone depletion in high-altitude aircraft jet plumes and combustion phenomena in gas turbine and ramjet engines. He is the direct supervisor of the Computational Combustion Laboratory (CCL) which is part of the School of Aerospace Engineering's Combustion Research Facility. He has been (and is currently) a principal investigator for a wide range of research projects funded by NASA, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Office of Naval Research and National Science Foundation. He has published and presented over 90 papers in various archival journals, conference proceedings and seminars. Professor Menon is a Senior Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and a member of the American Physical Society, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the Combustion Institute and the Sigma Xi. He is currently a member of the AIAA Propellant and Combustion Technical Committee and a peer reviewer for numerous archival journals, NASA and NSF research proposals.

Research Interests: Turbulent Combustion, Parallel Simulations, Interactive Flow Visualization, Propulsion, Turbulent Mixing
