Abstract
In this paper, we examine the interaction of two instabilities that occur in axial compressors using the Hopf-Hopf normal form. As a result, we illuminate some gaps in understanding the dynamics of standard compressor models. We find a possible dynamic mechanism, which explains certain “curious” behavior observed in experiments, and are able to predict and explain failure mechanisms in previously proposed control strategies.
