GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = p00030cs

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 = 30 degree (60 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : closed
  • Downwind gate: s *** unkno

At +X: Resultant .5 m/s
U= -.1 V= -.3 W= .1
Resultant V_RMS = .3

At -X: Resultant .6 m/s
U= -.3 V= -.1 W= -.4
Resultant V_RMS = .2

At -Y: Resultant .4 m/s
U= .0 V= -.1 W= -.1
Resultant V_RMS = .1

At M2: Resultant 3.6 m/s
U= -1.0 V= 1.7 W= 2.4
Resultant V_RMS = 1.2

At Dome: Resultant 12.9 m/s
U= -2.9 V= 10.4 W= 6.7
Resultant V_RMS = 1.3
