GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = d00060oc

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 : open
  • Downwind gate: closed

At +X: Resultant .9 m/s
U= .1 V= -.3 W= .0
Resultant V_RMS = .6

At -X: Resultant 1.9 m/s
U= .1 V= 1.1 W= -.3
Resultant V_RMS = 1.3

At -Y: Resultant 1.1 m/s
U= .4 V= -.1 W= -.5
Resultant V_RMS = .6

At M2: Resultant 1.6 m/s
U= -.6 V= .1 W= -.1
Resultant V_RMS = 1.0

At Dome: Resultant 11.3 m/s
U= 3.1 V= 9.2 W= 5.8
Resultant V_RMS = .3
