R. Sepulchre et P. Kokotovic, SHAPE SIGNIFIERS FOR CONTROL OF A LOW-ORDER COMPRESSOR MODEL, IEEE transactions on automatic control, 43(11), 1998, pp. 1643-1648
Rotating stall and surge, two instability mechanisms limiting the perf
ormance of aeroengines compressors, are studied on the third-order Moo
re-Greitzer model. The skewness of the compressor characteristic, a si
ngle parameter shape signifier, is shown to determine the key qualitat
ive properties of feedback control.
