GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = c09030co

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

  • Wind attack direction to SLIT = 090 degree Azimuth angle
  • Zenith angle = 30 degree (60 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : closed
  • Downwind gate: open

At +X: Resultant 6.7 m/s
U= -6.1 V= 1.2 W= 2.2
Resultant V_RMS = 1.4

At -X: Resultant 3.1 m/s
U= -2.6 V= -.2 W= -.1
Resultant V_RMS = 1.4

At -Y: Resultant 3.1 m/s
U= -1.5 V= 1.5 W= 1.3
Resultant V_RMS = 1.0

At M2: Resultant 2.5 m/s
U= -2.1 V= .0 W= .7
Resultant V_RMS = 1.0

At Dome: Resultant 2.8 m/s
U= 1.2 V= -1.2 W= 1.2
Resultant V_RMS = 1.1
