GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = q00060cc

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 .5 m/s
U= .0 V= .0 W= .1
Resultant V_RMS = .2

At -X: Resultant .7 m/s
U= -.4 V= -.1 W= -.5
Resultant V_RMS = .3

At -Y: Resultant .5 m/s
U= .1 V= -.1 W= -.2
Resultant V_RMS = .3

At M2: Resultant 3.0 m/s
U= -.8 V= 2.0 W= .7
Resultant V_RMS = 2.1

At Dome: Resultant 9.5 m/s
U= -1.9 V= 7.6 W= 4.9
Resultant V_RMS = 1.3
