The Moore-Greitzer PDE model with viscosity is presented and the equations
are rewritten as an evolution equation on a Hilbert space. It is proven tha
t the model has a unique global solution which is smooth in space and time.
Furthermore it is proven that there exists a global attractor, i.e., a com
pact set which attracts all bounded sets. Finally it is shown that the attr
actor has a finite fractal dimension.
