GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = c13530oo

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

  • Wind attack direction to SLIT = 135 degree Azimuth angle
  • Zenith angle = 30 degree (60 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : open
  • Downwind gate: open

At +X: Resultant 9.3 m/s
U= -6.1 V= -6.6 W= 1.7
Resultant V_RMS = 1.5

At -X: Resultant 1.8 m/s
U= 1.1 V= .9 W= .3
Resultant V_RMS = .7

At -Y: Resultant 1.7 m/s
U= -.6 V= .8 W= .4
Resultant V_RMS = .6

At M2: Resultant 8.8 m/s
U= -6.9 V= -4.3 W= 2.9
Resultant V_RMS = 1.7

At Dome: Resultant 2.9 m/s
U= 1.0 V= .4 W= 1.5
Resultant V_RMS = 1.0
