The provision of secure compressor operation under circumstances of a pulsed detonation engine is crucial for the success of pressure gaining combustion processes for turbo machinery applications. This paper discusses Active Flow Control as a possible solution to approach this challenge. The presented experiments were conducted on a highly loaded low speed linear compressor stator cascade. A choking-device which was located in the wake of the cascade simulated the non-steady outflow condition that is expected under the conditions of pressure gaining combustion. The flow structures of the non-steady flow field were strongly correlated to the working-phase of the choking-device. In this paper an Iterative Learning Controller was used to find an optimized actuation trajectory that was used for closed-loop sidewall-actuation to control the corner separation in the non-steady flow field. The Iterative Learning Controller took advantage of the periodicity of the disturbance to calculate a non-steady actuation trajectory that optimally suppressed the impact of the choking-device on the flow. The Active Flow Control effect was evaluated by means of static pressure rise using five hole probe measurements in the wake of one passage.
