GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = c00030oc

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 = 30 degree (60 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : open
  • Downwind gate: closed

At +X: Resultant 1.3 m/s
U= .3 V= -1.0 W= .0
Resultant V_RMS = .6

At -X: Resultant 2.4 m/s
U= .3 V= 1.4 W= .0
Resultant V_RMS = 1.5

At -Y: Resultant 1.1 m/s
U= -.6 V= -.4 W= -.4
Resultant V_RMS = .5

At M2: Resultant 4.0 m/s
U= .8 V= 3.0 W= 1.2
Resultant V_RMS = 1.3

At Dome: Resultant 10.5 m/s
U= 1.4 V= 9.1 W= 5.0
Resultant V_RMS = .4
