GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = c04530oo

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

  • Wind attack direction to SLIT = 045 degree Azimuth angle
  • Zenith angle = 30 degree (60 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : open
  • Downwind gate: open

(max wind = 20 m/s)

At +X: Resultant 8.0 m/s
U= -5.2 V= 5.8 W= 1.5
Resultant V_RMS = .8

At -X: Resultant 3.3 m/s
U= -3.0 V= .0 W= .5
Resultant V_RMS = 1.2

At -Y: Resultant 1.4 m/s
U= -.8 V= .0 W= -.2
Resultant V_RMS = .7

At M2: Resultant 1.9 m/s
U= -.9 V= -.1 W= .7
Resultant V_RMS = .9

At Dome: Resultant 11.0 m/s
U= -6.8 V= 7.2 W= 4.7
Resultant V_RMS = .8
