GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = d00060cc

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

  • Wind attack direction to SLIT = 000 degree Azimuth angle
  • Zenith angle = 60 degree (30 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : closed
  • Downwind gate: closed

At +X: Resultant .6 m/s
U= -.4 V= .0 W= .0
Resultant V_RMS = .3

At -X: Resultant .8 m/s
U= -.5 V= .3 W= .0
Resultant V_RMS = .3

At -Y: Resultant 1.0 m/s
U= -.6 V= -.4 W= -.1
Resultant V_RMS = .5

At M2: Resultant 6.8 m/s
U= 4.8 V= 4.1 W= -.3
Resultant V_RMS = 2.8

At Dome: Resultant 11.5 m/s
U= 3.0 V= 9.0 W= 6.2
Resultant V_RMS = .8
