Active Control of Compressor Surge and Stall
Abstract
Having demonstrated in previous years the ability to model, identify, and control rotating stall, our research has concentrated in the past year on refinements and extensions to the compressor modeling developed for active control research. The areas in which progress has been made are: (1) refinement of the basic fluid mechanics based on identification results, (2) understanding the effects of distortion on wave detection, and (3) using the nonlinear form of the rotating stall model to simulate short-circumferential-extent waves. Three-stage actively stabilized compressor experiments supported this work, and further verified that rotating stall stabilization is a viable concept.
