معرفی
Guillermo Paniagua is the Reilly Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Professor of Aeronautics & Astronautics (by courtesy) at Purdue University, affiliated with the College of Engineering, Zucrow Labs, and the Global Engineering Program. His research focuses on advanced turbomachinery, rotating detonation combustion, and high-speed flow diagnostics.
His work explores
- Supersonic and hypersonic fluid dynamics
- Turbine aerothermal performance under extreme conditions
- Cooling systems for combustors and high-temperature components
- Rotating detonation engine design and control
- Laser diagnostics for high-speed flows
- Optimization of diffusive stator vanes and nozzles
Recent publications (2025–2024) emphasize rotating detonation combustion for sustainable propulsion, supersonic turbine efficiency analysis, and advanced diagnostics in high-temperature flows. His team investigates hydrogen-air combustion dynamics, cavity flow interactions, and shock-boundary layer control.
Guillermo leads experimental and numerical studies at Purdue's Zucrow Labs, a premier facility for aerospace propulsion and fluid mechanics research. His work supports decarbonization efforts through supercritical CO2 cycles and pressure gain combustion technologies.
