description In order to detect the aerodynamic instability of a multistage axial compressor more accurately and earlier, the harmonic Fourier mean amplitude analysis method and heterotopic variance analysis method are developed. The dynamic instability prediction performance of the two methods is studied on a low-speed and a high-speed two-stage axial compressor. The harmonic Fourier mean amplitude analysis method is suitable for predicting the aerodynamic instability of a multistage axial compressor in the form of a rotating stall. Compared with the traditional harmonic Fourier analysis methods, the harmonic Fourier mean amplitude analysis method can capture the detail of the pressure signal more accurately and it can effectively prevent instability misjudgment. The heterotopic variance analysis method is developed based on the conventional variance analysis method, and it can be used to distinguish whether the compressor is in the rotating stall or the surge state. The heterotopic variance analysis method can predict the aerodynamic instability ahead of the harmonic Fourier mean amplitude analysis method, and fewer circumferential measuring points were employed. The layout of the measuring points also influences the detection of the aerodynamic instability of the compressor. The aerodynamic instability of the high-speed axial compressor can be predicted earlier by employing measuring points at the compressor outlet.
