What is a surge point and how do you prevent surging, in centrifugal compressors?

What is a surge point and how do you prevent surging, in centrifugal compressors?
Answer : Surge point is the point on the performance curve where a further decrease inflow (typically in the region of 50-70 % of rated capacity) causes instability, resulting in a pulsating flow, ... to thrust reversals, or excessive vibration. Bypass valves advents are commonly used to prevent surging. ...
