Abstract
In this article the theoretical foundations of a simplified approach f or control of rotating stall are presented. This approach requires two -dimensional sensing, but only a single one-dimensional axisymmetric e ffector with relatively low bandwidth requirements, The reduced actuat ion requirements of this approach are a consequence of the fact that i n this approach one does not require or act upon rotating stall phase information, This is due to the fact that one does not seek to extend the theoretical stable axisymmetric now range of tile compressor. Rath er, one seeks to directly address persistent disturbances that would o therwise throttle the equilibrium into the unstable axisymmetric now r ange of the compressor. In addition, one seeks to enlarge the domains of attraction of linearly stable axisymmetric equilibria, thereby addr essing impulsive disturbances that would otherwise perturb the system state beyond the domain of attraction of the stable axisymmetric equil ibrium. Experimental validation of this approach on a single-stage low -speed axial compressor rig is discussed in Part 2 of this article.
