GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = t00030cc

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: closed
FIGURE SUMMARY

(max wind = 20 m/s)

At +X: Resultant .4 m/s
U= .0 V= .0 W= .0
Resultant V_RMS = .2

At -X: Resultant 1.1 m/s
U= .2 V= -.2 W= 1.0
Resultant V_RMS = .1

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

At M2: Resultant 4.7 m/s
U= 1.0 V= 3.9 W= 1.3
Resultant V_RMS = 1.3

At Dome: Resultant 12.8 m/s
U= -7.5 V= 7.7 W= -6.4
Resultant V_RMS = 4.5
