GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = c00000oo

Average and RMS wind pressures and average wind velocities were calculated from the wind test in the following conditions:

  • Wind attack direction to SLIT = 000 degree Azimuth angle
  • Zenith angle = 00 degree (90 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : open
  • Downwind gate: open

At +X: Resultant 3.3 m/s
U= -1.1 V= 2.7 W= .2
Resultant V_RMS = 1.3

At -X: Resultant 3.6 m/s
U= 1.4 V= 3.0 W= .5
Resultant V_RMS = 1.4

At -Y: Resultant 2.0 m/s
U= .4 V= -.4 W= .2
Resultant V_RMS = 1.1

At M2: Resultant 3.6 m/s
U= .2 V= 2.5 W= 1.9
Resultant V_RMS = 1.5

At Dome: Resultant 8.8 m/s
U= 1.1 V= 7.8 W= 3.8
Resultant V_RMS = .8
