Abstract

Monitoring systems are proposed for the detection of incipient instability in axial flow compression systems. The work employs generic features associated with the response to noise inputs of systems bordering on instability. Based on these generic features, a closed-loop monitoring system is proposed. Numerical simulation is used to illustrate the operation of the proposed closed-loop monitoring system.
