The term stonewall refers to the condition when the compressor fails to develop any head, as the suction volumetric flow is too high for a given RPM. (Recall that, typically, the head drops off as suction flow increases for a given RPM. Eventually, the head v/s suction flow curve becomes nearly vertical at the stonewall flow.)

Stonewall or Choke - occurs under one of 2 conditions. Typically for high speed equipment, as flow increases the velocity of the gas/fluid can approach the gas/fluid's sonic speed somewhere within the compressor stage. This location may occur at the impeller inlet "throat" or at the vaned diffuser inlet "throat".
