GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = c00060oc

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

At +X: Resultant 1.3 m/s
U= .1 V= -.7 W= .1
Resultant V_RMS = .8

At -X: Resultant 2.7 m/s
U= 1.2 V= 1.7 W= -.1
Resultant V_RMS = 1.7

At -Y: Resultant 1.1 m/s
U= .3 V= -.2 W= -.2
Resultant V_RMS = .8

At M2: Resultant 2.3 m/s
U= .1 V= 1.2 W= -.2
Resultant V_RMS = 2.2

At Dome: Resultant 10.3 m/s
U= 2.3 V= 8.5 W= 4.9
Resultant V_RMS = 1.1
