GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = c00060oo

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: open

At +X: Resultant 2.5 m/s
U= -.4 V= .7 W= -.3
Resultant V_RMS = 1.1

At -X: Resultant 4.3 m/s
U= 2.7 V= 3.0 W= .2
Resultant V_RMS = 1.4

At -Y: Resultant 2.2 m/s
U= 1.2 V= -.8 W= -.5
Resultant V_RMS = .9

At M2: Resultant 3.7 m/s
U= 1.9 V= 2.5 W= -.4
Resultant V_RMS = 2.4

At Dome: Resultant 9.7 m/s
U= 1.6 V= 8.4 W= 4.3
Resultant V_RMS = .9
