Abstract

Presented in this paper is an analytical study evaluating the closed loop stability of rotating stall control hi an axial flow compressor subject to a nonlinear spatial actuation constraint that limits the amplitude of a spatial mode input. Absolute stability of the rotating stall control system is investigated by applying the circle criterion to a linearized model of an axial compressor in series with the saturation element. This stability analysis is then used to design the gain and phase of the 'classical' complex gain feedback control law. Resulting is a systematic method for designing the parameters of the complex gain control law which increases the region of absolute stability guaranteed by the circle criterion for the closed-loop system.
