GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = c04560oo

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

At +X: Resultant 7.3 m/s
U= -5.5 V= 4.6 W= 1.0
Resultant V_RMS = 1.1

At -X: Resultant 4.8 m/s
U= -4.5 V= -1.0 W= -.1
Resultant V_RMS = 1.3

At -Y: Resultant 3.7 m/s
U= -3.1 V= -.9 W= -.1
Resultant V_RMS = 1.1

At M2: Resultant 1.8 m/s
U= -.4 V= .6 W= -.6
Resultant V_RMS = 1.0

At Dome: Resultant 10.1 m/s
U= -6.4 V= 6.5 W= 4.0
Resultant V_RMS = 1.8
