GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = c09060oo

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

At +X: Resultant 8.5 m/s
U= -8.2 V= .6 W= 1.2
Resultant V_RMS = 1.2

At -X: Resultant 8.2 m/s
U= -8.1 V= .5 W= .6
Resultant V_RMS = 1.2

At -Y: Resultant 4.6 m/s
U= -4.4 V= -.1 W= -.7
Resultant V_RMS = .9

At M2: Resultant 1.5 m/s
U= -.1 V= .3 W= -.8
Resultant V_RMS = .6

At Dome: Resultant 3.5 m/s
U= .2 V= -1.7 W= .7
Resultant V_RMS = 1.3
