Abstract

High gain feedback is used to improve the performance of bifurcation control designs for the mitigation of stall in axial flow compressors. The maximum steady-state pressure rise is maintained for a range of operating conditions beyond the stall/surge line. Analysis and numerical results are presented to support the conclusions.
