Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method for improving aerdynamic stability of a working fluid flow through a compressor of a turbomachine, in particular through a compressor of gas turbine used for power production, particularly against rapidly changing aero speed of the compressor. The method comprises to introduce a first water mass flow to the working fluid flow of the compressor. Furthermore, the disclosure relates to a turbomachine, in particular a gas turbine, which can be driven according to the above method.
