GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = t00030oo

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 : open
  • Downwind gate: open

At +X: Resultant 4.9 m/s
U= -2.8 V= 3.5 W= 1.2
Resultant V_RMS = 1.2

At -X: Resultant 3.2 m/s
U= -.6 V= 1.8 W= 1.2
Resultant V_RMS = 1.2

At -Y: Resultant 2.0 m/s
U= -.2 V= -.6 W= -.5
Resultant V_RMS = .9

At M2: Resultant 4.3 m/s
U= -.2 V= 3.9 W= .6
Resultant V_RMS = 1.2

At Dome: Resultant 11.8 m/s
U= -7.1 V= 7.1 W= -6.0
Resultant V_RMS = 4.3
