GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = t04530oc

Average and RMS wind pressures and average wind velocities were calculated from the wind test in the following conditions:

  • Wind attack direction to SLIT = 045 degree Azimuth angle
  • Zenith angle = 30 degree (60 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : open
  • Downwind gate: closed

At +X: Resultant .5 m/s
U= .1 V= -.1 W= .0
Resultant V_RMS = .3

At -X: Resultant 2.4 m/s
U= 1.6 V= -1.4 W= 1.1
Resultant V_RMS = .1

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

At M2: Resultant .8 m/s
U= .3 V= -.4 W= .1
Resultant V_RMS = .4

At Dome: Resultant 4.1 m/s
U= .6 V= -.7 W= 1.6
Resultant V_RMS = 2.4
