GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = c00000cc

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 = 00 degree (90 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : closed
  • Downwind gate: closed

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

At -X: Resultant 1.0 m/s
U= -.2 V= -.9 W= .1
Resultant V_RMS = .4

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

At M2: Resultant 2.7 m/s
U= .6 V= 1.4 W= 1.4
Resultant V_RMS = 1.2

At Dome: Resultant 8.9 m/s
U= 1.3 V= 7.5 W= 4.3
Resultant V_RMS = .7
