Short Biography
Ν. Vlachos was born in the Greek island of Euboia and was raised in Marousi-Ahens, Greece.
He received the degrees of Mech.-Elect. Engineer from the Natl Texchnical University of
Athens (1967), ΜSc in Thermal Power (1972) and PhD in Fluids Engineering (1977) from
Ιmperial College, London University. He is member of the Greek Technical Chambers
(1967), American Society of Mechanical Engineers (1976), and senior member of the
American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics (1987).
He obtained a scholarship from the State Scholarships Foundation (1961-63), British
Heart Foundation (1972-74) and the Min. of Coordination (1974-76), and received a Du Pont
Award for Laser Doppler Research (1983). He is a referred in the Who’s Who in the World
(1994-), Who’s Who in Technology (1987-), Who’s Who in Optical Engineering (1986), and
Who’s Who in Science & Engineering (1999-)
He worked as a researcher, faculty member or company executive in England, France
and the USA more than twenty years (1970-91). He has specialized in laser flow diagnostics
and computational fluid dynamics. In the USA he developed flow models for the space shuttle
main engines (NASA) and for flue gas sulfur scrubbing (Dept. of Energy) and in England
models and laser anemometry for blood flow and internal combustion engines. He has given
invited lectures in England, France, Germany and the USA and has organized conferences
and colloquia on topics of flow, environment and energy. He has been reviewer for scientific
journals or conferences and research proposals.
He has taught aerodynamics, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer,
computational fluid dynamics and measurement techniques in the thermal sciences in the
universities of Illinois at Urbana, Alabama in Huntsville, Aegean and Thessaly. His research
interests are in thermo-fluid mechanics of energy systems, propulsion and environment, laser
flow diagnostics and mathematical models of flow and transport phenomena. He has
presented more than (60) articles in scientific journals and conferences.
He is the first elected professor (1992) of the Engineering School of the UTH and as
acting chairman (1992-98) of the Mechanical & Industrial Engineering Department
contributed to its organization and development. He served as chairman of the UTH Library
committee (1994-99), and as member of the governing boards of the universities of Aegean
(1993-95) and Thessaly (1994-98). He was president of the technological center for metals
ΕΒΕΤΑΜ (1994-98) and a founding member of the Hellenic Laboratory Association (1997)
and its president (1999-2000). He was the scientific responsible for the 2nd CSFP project for
the development of the UTH Library (1996-2000) and for the postgraduate program of the
MIE Department (1998-2000). He is member of the Scientific Committee of the Panhellenic
Association of Certified Mechanical-Electrical Engineers (1998-) and the Editorial Board IV
(Mechanical & Naval) of the Greek Technical Chamber.
Since 1995 he is directing the Laboratory of Fluid Mechanics & Turbomachines of
UTH where he is supervising research projects in fluid mechanics and transport phenomena
using computational fluid dynamics and laser flow diagnostics for applications involving
energy, processes and the environment. He is the scientific responsible of the UTH research
team for the national program for controlled thermonuclear fusion, in the framework of the
Association Euratom – Hellenic Republic (General Secretariat for Research & Technology).
