Journal ArticleDOI
Stall inception in axial flow compressors
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of finite amplitude rotating stall cells was investigated on two laboratory test compressors and it was shown that modal perturbations are not always present prior to stall, and when present, sometimes have little direct effect on the formation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A Study of Spike and Modal Stall Phenomena in a Low-Speed Axial Compressor
T. R. Camp,I. J. Day +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a study of stall inception mechanisms in low-speed axial compressors is presented, where the authors show that the stability criteria for the two disturbances are different: long lengthscale disturbances are related to a two-dimensional instability of the whole compression system, while short length-scale disturbances indicate a three-dimensional breakdown of the flow field associated with high rotor incidence angles.

Journal ArticleDOI
Stall, Surge, and 75 Years of Research
TL;DR: In this article, a semi-historical look at some of these fields of study (stall, surge, active control, rotating instabilities etc.) and examine the ideas which underpin each topic are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Active suppression of rotating stall and surge in axial compressors
TL;DR: In this paper, two distinctly different methods were used to delay the onset of rotating stall and surge in a four-stage compressor using fast-acting air injection valves and removing emerging stall cells.
