Factors influencing axial compressor stalls

The article describes the problem regarding stalls in axial compressors, which are widely used in the engines of large and very large transportation aircrafts. The stall phenomenon, unless cleared, poses a major danger to the integrity of a compressor module, which in turn may result in uncontained engine failure and loss of thrust, thereby seriously affecting flight safety. The costs of maintenance to be performed may also be very high, due to irreversible deterioration in some components. A practical assessment of the stall problem and its countermeasures are discussed below.
