Research summary
AI-generated

Guillermo Paniagua's research focuses on gas turbines and jet engine components, with particular emphasis on rotating detonation engines (a newer type of combustion system that could make engines more efficient), turbine cooling and aerothermal performance, and the fluid dynamics of high-speed flows. Work combines experimental testing (wind tunnels, engine test rigs) with computational simulations to study how heat, pressure, and turbulence affect engine parts like turbine blades, combustors, and nozzles. The group appears to work closely with applied engine hardware, including collaborations that involve building and commissioning physical test facilities.
