GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = c04530cc

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 : closed
  • Downwind gate: closed

At +X: Resultant .7 m/s
U= -.3 V= .5 W= .0
Resultant V_RMS = .3

At -X: Resultant .9 m/s
U= -.4 V= -.3 W= -.6
Resultant V_RMS = .3

At -Y: Resultant .6 m/s
U= .1 V= -.3 W= -.4
Resultant V_RMS = .2

At M2: Resultant 1.2 m/s
U= -.9 V= .0 W= -.5
Resultant V_RMS = .4

At Dome: Resultant 11.3 m/s
U= -7.5 V= 7.2 W= 4.3
Resultant V_RMS = .9
