Dr. Harish Ganesh

Biography

Harish Ganesh’s research interests lie primarily in the field of fluid dynamics with a focus on hydrodynamic cavitation and experimental methods. He earned his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 2014, following a Master’s degree in Aerospace Sciences in 2009 and an undergraduate degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Madras Institute of Technology in India in 2005. His current research delves into various aspects of cavitation, including wake cavitation dynamics using time-resolved X-ray densitometry, the multi-modal nature of hydrofoil cavitation through focused measurements, and vortex dynamics in separated flow cavitation. Ganesh's work often utilizes advanced experimental techniques such as particle image velocimetry (PIV) and radiation-based measurement techniques to analyze compressible gas-liquid flows and to perform data-driven analysis on dense or noisy experimental datasets.
