1 Introduction
Wind tunnel test is the most effective method for aerody-namic research Even if the computer-based numericalsimulation technology and the model flight test technologyare rapidly improving wind tunnel test is still an indis-pensable method for the research of complex aerodynamiccharacteristics during the research and development ofaircrafte precise design of advanced aircraft requires highaccuracy of wind tunnel test results However there existmany factors and phenomena which finally result in theinaccuracy of measurements in the wind tunnel such as theinfluence of flow qualities Reynolds and Mach numbersstandard model test results wind tunnel walls and sup-porting system interference in 2D and 3D tests [1ndash7]
As an important flow quality in wind tunnels turbulencelevel will affect the accuracy of wind tunnel test results suchas calculation of aircraft force and moment coefficients [1]measurement of test model attitude angle [8] and mea-surement of transition characteristics of the boundary layer
on test model surface [9] For aircraft design the errors inwind tunnel tests mean that there will be design errors inaerodynamic parameters such as lift and drag coefficientse design errors will lead to estimation errors in aircraftweight which severely restricts the economy and safety ofaircraft [10] erefore it is very important to evaluate theturbulence level in wind tunnels accurately andquantitatively
Hot-wire anemometry (HWA) is currently the mostwidely used method for turbulence level measurement dueto its advantages such as high-frequency response highsensitivity and cost effectiveness [11ndash14] In the com-pressible flow the hot-wire response function derived by thechanging overheat ratio method conforms to a hyperbolicrelationship erefore the problem of solving turbulencelevel can be converted into the problem of solving hyperbolafitting parameters of a set of two-dimensional scatteredpoints [15] However in the actual measurement and dataacquisition process the two-dimensional scattered pointsmay deviate from hyperbolic distribution due to unsteady

flow characteristics In some cases there are even straightlines and other conic distributions which make it difficult tosolve turbulence level precisely
Many researchers have studied hyperbola fitting andthe methods utilized differ due to different applicationscenarios Hough transform (HF) is a method of graphdetection and fitting based on pattern recognition e HFmethod converts scattered points in the image space tothose in the parameter space and converts the problem ofscattered points fitting to the problem of solving extremevalue in the parameter space thereby realizing the detec-tion and fitting of the hyperbola e HF method has theadvantages of strong robustness but its shortcomings oflow computational efficiency limit its real-time application[16ndash20] e least-squares (LS) method is the most com-monly used method for hyperbola fitting e key idea ofthe LS method is to establish a suberror function for eachscattered point and use the sum of the squares of allsuberror functions as the error function of hyperbola fit-tinge suberror function can be expressed by residuals ororthogonal distances between scattered points and fittedhyperbolic curves Hyperbolic curves are obtained bycalculating the extreme value of the error function e LSmethod has been widely used due to its ease of applicationand high computational efficiency [21ndash25] Both Lebiga VA[12 26 27] and Radespiel R [28ndash31] have done a lot ofresearch in the field of turbulence level measurement andobtaining the fitting solution in compressible flow eyconducted a comprehensive and thorough analysis offluctuation measurement results which provided datasupport for the uncertainty analysis of subsequent windtunnel tests However they have not conducted too muchresearch on the hyperbola fitting method Instead thesolution of the overdetermined equations (SOE) method isused directly to calculate the hyperbolic parameters tocomplete the hyperbola fitting e SOE method is basedon the LS method which means it has high computationalefficiency while the SOE method cannot obtain preciseturbulence level results due to overfitting if the scatteredpoints deviate from hyperbolic distribution
In order to solve the problem mentioned above thispaper proposes using the constrained least-squares (CLS)method to convert the problem of hyperbola fitting to theinequality constrained optimization problem and then usingthe Lagrange programming neural network (LPNN) methodto solve turbulence level iterativelye results show that theLPNN method is superior to the traditional SOE methodwhich verify the feasibility of the LPNN method for solvingturbulence level in wind tunnels
2 The SOE Method
According to the literature [26ndash32] the response function ofthe constant temperature hot-wire anemometer (CTA) incompressible flow is
ΔEE
FCTAΔmm
minus GCTAΔT0
T0 (1)
where E is the output voltage of CTA m and T0 are the gasmass flow rate and total temperature of the hot-wire probemeasuring point and FCTA and GCTA are the mass flow rateand total temperature sensitivity coefficients of CTA re-spectively FCTA andGCTA are only related to the overheatingratio namely the working temperature of the hot-wireprobe under a fixed flow condition Dividing equation (1) byGCTA and defining θ 1GCTAΔEE as the response functionand r FCTAGCTA as the independent variable we can get

In the actual measurement process conventional windtunnels cannot guarantee the strict steadiness of flow due tothe long duration of the turbulence level measurement test
by using the changing overheat ratio method ereforethere will be cases where the two-dimensional scatteredpoints do not strictly obey hyperbolic distribution and eventhe distribution is similar to straight lines and other coniccurves e schematic diagram is shown in Figure 1
e points and the solid blue line in Figure 1 are thescattered points under ideal conditions and the hyperbolaobtained by the SOE method and the + points and thedotted red line are the scattered points with flow distur-bances and the curve obtained by the SOE method As aresult of overfitting the fitting curve is approximately astraight line which has deviated from the ideal hyperbola Inthis situation the SOE method will not accurately solve theturbulence level
3 Proposed Algorithm for SolvingTurbulence Level
In order to solve the problem mentioned above the CLSmethod is used to convert the problem of hyperbola fitting tothe inequality constrained optimization problem and thenthe LPNN method is used to obtain turbulence leveliteratively
31 1e CLS Method Compared with the traditional LSmethod the CLS method can limit the parameters to befitted within a certain range to prevent overfitting Supposethat the fitted hyperbolic equation of the two-dimensionalscattered points (RΘ) is
f2(r) c1r
2+ c2r + c3 (14)
where r is the independent variable f(r) is the dependentvariable and c1 c2 and c3 are the hyperbola fitting coeffi-cients According to equation (14) the dependent variablefitting values F(R) and residuals E are
F(R) f r1( 1113857 f r2( 1113857 f rn( 11138571113858 1113859T

(15)
Select the error function S of the CLS method as the sumof squares of the residuals of each scatter
S 1113944n

Comparing equations (3) and (14) it can be seen that thehyperbola fitting coefficients c1 c2 and c3 in the CLS methodare the flow fluctuations to be sought namely
C c1 c2 c31113858 1113859T

According to the physical meanings of the variables inequations (5) and (17) the constraints are established asfollows
(1) Since the mean square values of m and T0 fluctua-tions are always positive we can say c1 gt 0 and c3 gt 0

32 1e LPNN Method To solve the nonlinear inequalityconstrained optimization problem in equation (22) theLPNNmethod is applied [33]e inequality constraints canbe rewritten as follows
g1(C) minusc1 + τ le 0
g2(C) minusc3 + τ le 0
g3(C) c22 minus 4c1c3 le 0
(23)
where τ is the correction value of coefficients c1 and c3 andτ 10minus 10 Its value is determined according to the flowquality values of the conventional wind tunnels eLagrange function L with inequality constraints is defined as

nablaCg(Clowast ]lowast) can be easily verified to be a full columnrank To be more precise the gradients above at the equi-librium point are linearly independent which means that Clowast
is a regular point and (Clowast ]lowast λlowast) is a KuhnndashTucker point ofthe Lagrange function L [33] namely the following equationholds

According to the results of equation (30) and λi ge 0 fori 1 2 3 we can say that nabla2CCL(Clowast ]lowast λlowast) is a strict positivedefinite matrix and the coefficient matrix G in equation (28)is a negative semidefinite matrix which means that theequilibrium point (Clowast ]lowast λlowast) is the asymptotically stablepoint of the network

values In this situation although equations (12) and (13) canstill be used to solve turbulence levels the results are not truevalues
e fitting curve for the cases M 0516 and M 0599obtained by the LPNN method is still hyperbola with theinfluence of the unsteadiness of the flow and the goodness offitting values are high which is consistent with the theo-retical results From the results we can easily find that theLPNN method is better than the SOE method and theresults verify the feasibility of applying the proposed algo-rithm to solve the turbulence level in wind tunnels

flow characteristics In some cases there are even straightlines and other conic distributions which make it difficult tosolve turbulence level precisely
Many researchers have studied hyperbola fitting andthe methods utilized differ due to different applicationscenarios Hough transform (HF) is a method of graphdetection and fitting based on pattern recognition e HFmethod converts scattered points in the image space tothose in the parameter space and converts the problem ofscattered points fitting to the problem of solving extremevalue in the parameter space thereby realizing the detec-tion and fitting of the hyperbola e HF method has theadvantages of strong robustness but its shortcomings oflow computational efficiency limit its real-time application[16ndash20] e least-squares (LS) method is the most com-monly used method for hyperbola fitting e key idea ofthe LS method is to establish a suberror function for eachscattered point and use the sum of the squares of allsuberror functions as the error function of hyperbola fit-tinge suberror function can be expressed by residuals ororthogonal distances between scattered points and fittedhyperbolic curves Hyperbolic curves are obtained bycalculating the extreme value of the error function e LSmethod has been widely used due to its ease of applicationand high computational efficiency [21ndash25] Both Lebiga VA[12 26 27] and Radespiel R [28ndash31] have done a lot ofresearch in the field of turbulence level measurement andobtaining the fitting solution in compressible flow eyconducted a comprehensive and thorough analysis offluctuation measurement results which provided datasupport for the uncertainty analysis of subsequent windtunnel tests However they have not conducted too muchresearch on the hyperbola fitting method Instead thesolution of the overdetermined equations (SOE) method isused directly to calculate the hyperbolic parameters tocomplete the hyperbola fitting e SOE method is basedon the LS method which means it has high computationalefficiency while the SOE method cannot obtain preciseturbulence level results due to overfitting if the scatteredpoints deviate from hyperbolic distribution
In order to solve the problem mentioned above thispaper proposes using the constrained least-squares (CLS)method to convert the problem of hyperbola fitting to theinequality constrained optimization problem and then usingthe Lagrange programming neural network (LPNN) methodto solve turbulence level iterativelye results show that theLPNN method is superior to the traditional SOE methodwhich verify the feasibility of the LPNN method for solvingturbulence level in wind tunnels

where E is the output voltage of CTA m and T0 are the gasmass flow rate and total temperature of the hot-wire probemeasuring point and FCTA and GCTA are the mass flow rateand total temperature sensitivity coefficients of CTA re-spectively FCTA andGCTA are only related to the overheatingratio namely the working temperature of the hot-wireprobe under a fixed flow condition Dividing equation (1) byGCTA and defining θ 1GCTAΔEE as the response functionand r FCTAGCTA as the independent variable we can get

In the actual measurement process conventional windtunnels cannot guarantee the strict steadiness of flow due tothe long duration of the turbulence level measurement test
by using the changing overheat ratio method ereforethere will be cases where the two-dimensional scatteredpoints do not strictly obey hyperbolic distribution and eventhe distribution is similar to straight lines and other coniccurves e schematic diagram is shown in Figure 1
e points and the solid blue line in Figure 1 are thescattered points under ideal conditions and the hyperbolaobtained by the SOE method and the + points and thedotted red line are the scattered points with flow distur-bances and the curve obtained by the SOE method As aresult of overfitting the fitting curve is approximately astraight line which has deviated from the ideal hyperbola Inthis situation the SOE method will not accurately solve theturbulence level
3 Proposed Algorithm for SolvingTurbulence Level
In order to solve the problem mentioned above the CLSmethod is used to convert the problem of hyperbola fitting tothe inequality constrained optimization problem and thenthe LPNN method is used to obtain turbulence leveliteratively
31 1e CLS Method Compared with the traditional LSmethod the CLS method can limit the parameters to befitted within a certain range to prevent overfitting Supposethat the fitted hyperbolic equation of the two-dimensionalscattered points (RΘ) is
f2(r) c1r
2+ c2r + c3 (14)
where r is the independent variable f(r) is the dependentvariable and c1 c2 and c3 are the hyperbola fitting coeffi-cients According to equation (14) the dependent variablefitting values F(R) and residuals E are
F(R) f r1( 1113857 f r2( 1113857 f rn( 11138571113858 1113859T

Select the error function S of the CLS method as the sumof squares of the residuals of each scatter

Comparing equations (3) and (14) it can be seen that thehyperbola fitting coefficients c1 c2 and c3 in the CLS methodare the flow fluctuations to be sought namely

According to the physical meanings of the variables inequations (5) and (17) the constraints are established asfollows
(1) Since the mean square values of m and T0 fluctua-tions are always positive we can say c1 gt 0 and c3 gt 0

For the case M 0449 Figure 4(a) shows that thescattered points of turbulence level measurement test resultsbasically conform to the hyperbolic distribution and thefitted hyperbolae obtained by the LPNN method and thetraditional SOE method basically coincide e results inTable 2 show that the turbulence level and other flowqualities are basically equal for M 0449 erefore in thecase when the scattered points conform to the hyperbolicdistribution both the LPNN method and the SOE methodcan be used to solve the turbulence level accurately
For the cases M 0516 and M 0599 Figures 4(b) and4(c) show that the scattered points deviate from the hy-perbolic distribution due to the unsteadiness of the flow andthere are even straight lines and other conic curves for thescattered points distribution e fitting curve obtained bythe traditional SOE method is an ellipse which is incon-sistent with the theoretical results from equation (3) Table 2shows the high goodness of fitting values and negative C3values for the SOE results of M 0516 and M 0599 C3represents the mean square value of T0 thus C3 should bepositive for all situations according to its physical meaningHowever the results of C3 obtained by the SOE method arenegative which indicate that overfitting has occurred forM 0516 and M 0599 e scattered points are overfittedinto ellipses by the SOEmethod which results in negative C3

values In this situation although equations (12) and (13) canstill be used to solve turbulence levels the results are not truevalues
e fitting curve for the cases M 0516 and M 0599obtained by the LPNN method is still hyperbola with theinfluence of the unsteadiness of the flow and the goodness offitting values are high which is consistent with the theo-retical results From the results we can easily find that theLPNN method is better than the SOE method and theresults verify the feasibility of applying the proposed algo-rithm to solve the turbulence level in wind tunnels
5 Conclusions
In this paper we propose a new hyperbola fitting algorithmfor turbulence level measurement test data based on theLagrange programming neural network method to solve theturbulence level in wind tunnels iteratively e LPNNmethod is stable and the equilibrium point is proved to beasymptotically stable e results show that better than theSOE method the LPNN method can be utilized to solveturbulence level and the results will not be affected by theunsteadiness of the flow e results of this paper will bemainly used to solve the turbulence level more precisely toensure the high accuracy of wind tunnel test results
Future research will continue to further develop thehyperbola fitting algorithm on the basis of the LPNNmethod to improve the accuracy of turbulence level resultsIn addition the LPNN method will also be improved to beapplied in data processing for wind tunnel test results

In the actual measurement process conventional windtunnels cannot guarantee the strict steadiness of flow due tothe long duration of the turbulence level measurement test
by using the changing overheat ratio method ereforethere will be cases where the two-dimensional scatteredpoints do not strictly obey hyperbolic distribution and eventhe distribution is similar to straight lines and other coniccurves e schematic diagram is shown in Figure 1
e points and the solid blue line in Figure 1 are thescattered points under ideal conditions and the hyperbolaobtained by the SOE method and the + points and thedotted red line are the scattered points with flow distur-bances and the curve obtained by the SOE method As aresult of overfitting the fitting curve is approximately astraight line which has deviated from the ideal hyperbola Inthis situation the SOE method will not accurately solve theturbulence level
3 Proposed Algorithm for SolvingTurbulence Level
In order to solve the problem mentioned above the CLSmethod is used to convert the problem of hyperbola fitting tothe inequality constrained optimization problem and thenthe LPNN method is used to obtain turbulence leveliteratively
31 1e CLS Method Compared with the traditional LSmethod the CLS method can limit the parameters to befitted within a certain range to prevent overfitting Supposethat the fitted hyperbolic equation of the two-dimensionalscattered points (RΘ) is
f2(r) c1r
2+ c2r + c3 (14)
where r is the independent variable f(r) is the dependentvariable and c1 c2 and c3 are the hyperbola fitting coeffi-cients According to equation (14) the dependent variablefitting values F(R) and residuals E are
F(R) f r1( 1113857 f r2( 1113857 f rn( 11138571113858 1113859T

(15)
Select the error function S of the CLS method as the sumof squares of the residuals of each scatter
S 1113944n

Comparing equations (3) and (14) it can be seen that thehyperbola fitting coefficients c1 c2 and c3 in the CLS methodare the flow fluctuations to be sought namely
C c1 c2 c31113858 1113859T
1113954X (17)
According to the physical meanings of the variables inequations (5) and (17) the constraints are established asfollows
(1) Since the mean square values of m and T0 fluctua-tions are always positive we can say c1 gt 0 and c3 gt 0

(2) e variances of m and T0 their covariance andcorrelation coefficient are defined respectively asfollows

where τ is the correction value of coefficients c1 and c3 andτ 10minus 10 Its value is determined according to the flowquality values of the conventional wind tunnels eLagrange function L with inequality constraints is defined as

nablaCg(Clowast ]lowast) can be easily verified to be a full columnrank To be more precise the gradients above at the equi-librium point are linearly independent which means that Clowast
is a regular point and (Clowast ]lowast λlowast) is a KuhnndashTucker point ofthe Lagrange function L [33] namely the following equationholds
nabla2CCL Clowast νlowast λlowast( 1113857gt 0 (30)

4 Results and Analysis
41 Results of the Proposed Algorithm ree sets of typicalturbulence level measurement test results are selected to beprocessed e independent variable and dependent variabledata in equation (3) are shown in Table 1
e LPNN method is used to iteratively solve the tur-bulence level corresponding to the three sets of test dataabove in Table 1 Considering convergence speed the initialvalue of iteration is selected as 10minus4 10minus5 10minus6 and 10minus7respectively and the iteration time step is Δt 10minus 8 eiteration results of variable C are shown in Figure 3 eiteration results of variables ] and λ have no concern withsolving the turbulence level so they are not listed here
From Figure 3 we can easily find that variable C con-verges to a fixed value within approximate 4 times 106 steps andconsistent results can be obtained with different initialvalues e results indicate good and stable convergence ofthe LPNN method

42 Comparison with the SOE Method e comparisonresults of the fitted hyperbola obtained by the LPNNmethodand the traditional SOE method are shown in Figure 4 eturbulence level and other flow qualities by the two methodsare shown in Table 2
For the case M 0449 Figure 4(a) shows that thescattered points of turbulence level measurement test resultsbasically conform to the hyperbolic distribution and thefitted hyperbolae obtained by the LPNN method and thetraditional SOE method basically coincide e results inTable 2 show that the turbulence level and other flowqualities are basically equal for M 0449 erefore in thecase when the scattered points conform to the hyperbolicdistribution both the LPNN method and the SOE methodcan be used to solve the turbulence level accurately
For the cases M 0516 and M 0599 Figures 4(b) and4(c) show that the scattered points deviate from the hy-perbolic distribution due to the unsteadiness of the flow andthere are even straight lines and other conic curves for thescattered points distribution e fitting curve obtained bythe traditional SOE method is an ellipse which is incon-sistent with the theoretical results from equation (3) Table 2shows the high goodness of fitting values and negative C3values for the SOE results of M 0516 and M 0599 C3represents the mean square value of T0 thus C3 should bepositive for all situations according to its physical meaningHowever the results of C3 obtained by the SOE method arenegative which indicate that overfitting has occurred forM 0516 and M 0599 e scattered points are overfittedinto ellipses by the SOEmethod which results in negative C3

values In this situation although equations (12) and (13) canstill be used to solve turbulence levels the results are not truevalues
e fitting curve for the cases M 0516 and M 0599obtained by the LPNN method is still hyperbola with theinfluence of the unsteadiness of the flow and the goodness offitting values are high which is consistent with the theo-retical results From the results we can easily find that theLPNN method is better than the SOE method and theresults verify the feasibility of applying the proposed algo-rithm to solve the turbulence level in wind tunnels
5 Conclusions
In this paper we propose a new hyperbola fitting algorithmfor turbulence level measurement test data based on theLagrange programming neural network method to solve theturbulence level in wind tunnels iteratively e LPNNmethod is stable and the equilibrium point is proved to beasymptotically stable e results show that better than theSOE method the LPNN method can be utilized to solveturbulence level and the results will not be affected by theunsteadiness of the flow e results of this paper will bemainly used to solve the turbulence level more precisely toensure the high accuracy of wind tunnel test results
Future research will continue to further develop thehyperbola fitting algorithm on the basis of the LPNNmethod to improve the accuracy of turbulence level resultsIn addition the LPNN method will also be improved to beapplied in data processing for wind tunnel test results

42 Comparison with the SOE Method e comparisonresults of the fitted hyperbola obtained by the LPNNmethodand the traditional SOE method are shown in Figure 4 eturbulence level and other flow qualities by the two methodsare shown in Table 2
For the case M 0449 Figure 4(a) shows that thescattered points of turbulence level measurement test resultsbasically conform to the hyperbolic distribution and thefitted hyperbolae obtained by the LPNN method and thetraditional SOE method basically coincide e results inTable 2 show that the turbulence level and other flowqualities are basically equal for M 0449 erefore in thecase when the scattered points conform to the hyperbolicdistribution both the LPNN method and the SOE methodcan be used to solve the turbulence level accurately
For the cases M 0516 and M 0599 Figures 4(b) and4(c) show that the scattered points deviate from the hy-perbolic distribution due to the unsteadiness of the flow andthere are even straight lines and other conic curves for thescattered points distribution e fitting curve obtained bythe traditional SOE method is an ellipse which is incon-sistent with the theoretical results from equation (3) Table 2shows the high goodness of fitting values and negative C3values for the SOE results of M 0516 and M 0599 C3represents the mean square value of T0 thus C3 should bepositive for all situations according to its physical meaningHowever the results of C3 obtained by the SOE method arenegative which indicate that overfitting has occurred forM 0516 and M 0599 e scattered points are overfittedinto ellipses by the SOEmethod which results in negative C3

values In this situation although equations (12) and (13) canstill be used to solve turbulence levels the results are not truevalues
e fitting curve for the cases M 0516 and M 0599obtained by the LPNN method is still hyperbola with theinfluence of the unsteadiness of the flow and the goodness offitting values are high which is consistent with the theo-retical results From the results we can easily find that theLPNN method is better than the SOE method and theresults verify the feasibility of applying the proposed algo-rithm to solve the turbulence level in wind tunnels
5 Conclusions
In this paper we propose a new hyperbola fitting algorithmfor turbulence level measurement test data based on theLagrange programming neural network method to solve theturbulence level in wind tunnels iteratively e LPNNmethod is stable and the equilibrium point is proved to beasymptotically stable e results show that better than theSOE method the LPNN method can be utilized to solveturbulence level and the results will not be affected by theunsteadiness of the flow e results of this paper will bemainly used to solve the turbulence level more precisely toensure the high accuracy of wind tunnel test results
Future research will continue to further develop thehyperbola fitting algorithm on the basis of the LPNNmethod to improve the accuracy of turbulence level resultsIn addition the LPNN method will also be improved to beapplied in data processing for wind tunnel test results

For the case M 0449 Figure 4(a) shows that thescattered points of turbulence level measurement test resultsbasically conform to the hyperbolic distribution and thefitted hyperbolae obtained by the LPNN method and thetraditional SOE method basically coincide e results inTable 2 show that the turbulence level and other flowqualities are basically equal for M 0449 erefore in thecase when the scattered points conform to the hyperbolicdistribution both the LPNN method and the SOE methodcan be used to solve the turbulence level accurately
For the cases M 0516 and M 0599 Figures 4(b) and4(c) show that the scattered points deviate from the hy-perbolic distribution due to the unsteadiness of the flow andthere are even straight lines and other conic curves for thescattered points distribution e fitting curve obtained bythe traditional SOE method is an ellipse which is incon-sistent with the theoretical results from equation (3) Table 2shows the high goodness of fitting values and negative C3values for the SOE results of M 0516 and M 0599 C3represents the mean square value of T0 thus C3 should bepositive for all situations according to its physical meaningHowever the results of C3 obtained by the SOE method arenegative which indicate that overfitting has occurred forM 0516 and M 0599 e scattered points are overfittedinto ellipses by the SOEmethod which results in negative C3

values In this situation although equations (12) and (13) canstill be used to solve turbulence levels the results are not truevalues
e fitting curve for the cases M 0516 and M 0599obtained by the LPNN method is still hyperbola with theinfluence of the unsteadiness of the flow and the goodness offitting values are high which is consistent with the theo-retical results From the results we can easily find that theLPNN method is better than the SOE method and theresults verify the feasibility of applying the proposed algo-rithm to solve the turbulence level in wind tunnels
5 Conclusions
In this paper we propose a new hyperbola fitting algorithmfor turbulence level measurement test data based on theLagrange programming neural network method to solve theturbulence level in wind tunnels iteratively e LPNNmethod is stable and the equilibrium point is proved to beasymptotically stable e results show that better than theSOE method the LPNN method can be utilized to solveturbulence level and the results will not be affected by theunsteadiness of the flow e results of this paper will bemainly used to solve the turbulence level more precisely toensure the high accuracy of wind tunnel test results
Future research will continue to further develop thehyperbola fitting algorithm on the basis of the LPNNmethod to improve the accuracy of turbulence level resultsIn addition the LPNN method will also be improved to beapplied in data processing for wind tunnel test results

42 Comparison with the SOE Method e comparisonresults of the fitted hyperbola obtained by the LPNNmethodand the traditional SOE method are shown in Figure 4 eturbulence level and other flow qualities by the two methodsare shown in Table 2
For the case M 0449 Figure 4(a) shows that thescattered points of turbulence level measurement test resultsbasically conform to the hyperbolic distribution and thefitted hyperbolae obtained by the LPNN method and thetraditional SOE method basically coincide e results inTable 2 show that the turbulence level and other flowqualities are basically equal for M 0449 erefore in thecase when the scattered points conform to the hyperbolicdistribution both the LPNN method and the SOE methodcan be used to solve the turbulence level accurately
For the cases M 0516 and M 0599 Figures 4(b) and4(c) show that the scattered points deviate from the hy-perbolic distribution due to the unsteadiness of the flow andthere are even straight lines and other conic curves for thescattered points distribution e fitting curve obtained bythe traditional SOE method is an ellipse which is incon-sistent with the theoretical results from equation (3) Table 2shows the high goodness of fitting values and negative C3values for the SOE results of M 0516 and M 0599 C3represents the mean square value of T0 thus C3 should bepositive for all situations according to its physical meaningHowever the results of C3 obtained by the SOE method arenegative which indicate that overfitting has occurred forM 0516 and M 0599 e scattered points are overfittedinto ellipses by the SOEmethod which results in negative C3

values In this situation although equations (12) and (13) canstill be used to solve turbulence levels the results are not truevalues
e fitting curve for the cases M 0516 and M 0599obtained by the LPNN method is still hyperbola with theinfluence of the unsteadiness of the flow and the goodness offitting values are high which is consistent with the theo-retical results From the results we can easily find that theLPNN method is better than the SOE method and theresults verify the feasibility of applying the proposed algo-rithm to solve the turbulence level in wind tunnels
5 Conclusions
In this paper we propose a new hyperbola fitting algorithmfor turbulence level measurement test data based on theLagrange programming neural network method to solve theturbulence level in wind tunnels iteratively e LPNNmethod is stable and the equilibrium point is proved to beasymptotically stable e results show that better than theSOE method the LPNN method can be utilized to solveturbulence level and the results will not be affected by theunsteadiness of the flow e results of this paper will bemainly used to solve the turbulence level more precisely toensure the high accuracy of wind tunnel test results
Future research will continue to further develop thehyperbola fitting algorithm on the basis of the LPNNmethod to improve the accuracy of turbulence level resultsIn addition the LPNN method will also be improved to beapplied in data processing for wind tunnel test results

values In this situation although equations (12) and (13) canstill be used to solve turbulence levels the results are not truevalues
e fitting curve for the cases M 0516 and M 0599obtained by the LPNN method is still hyperbola with theinfluence of the unsteadiness of the flow and the goodness offitting values are high which is consistent with the theo-retical results From the results we can easily find that theLPNN method is better than the SOE method and theresults verify the feasibility of applying the proposed algo-rithm to solve the turbulence level in wind tunnels
5 Conclusions
In this paper we propose a new hyperbola fitting algorithmfor turbulence level measurement test data based on theLagrange programming neural network method to solve theturbulence level in wind tunnels iteratively e LPNNmethod is stable and the equilibrium point is proved to beasymptotically stable e results show that better than theSOE method the LPNN method can be utilized to solveturbulence level and the results will not be affected by theunsteadiness of the flow e results of this paper will bemainly used to solve the turbulence level more precisely toensure the high accuracy of wind tunnel test results
Future research will continue to further develop thehyperbola fitting algorithm on the basis of the LPNNmethod to improve the accuracy of turbulence level resultsIn addition the LPNN method will also be improved to beapplied in data processing for wind tunnel test results
