GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = c04530co

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: open

At +X: Resultant 7.4 m/s
U= -4.2 V= 5.8 W= 1.6
Resultant V_RMS = .8

At -X: Resultant 2.1 m/s
U= -1.5 V= -.5 W= .8
Resultant V_RMS = .8

At -Y: Resultant .9 m/s
U= -.3 V= .0 W= .1
Resultant V_RMS = .4

At M2: Resultant 2.6 m/s
U= .3 V= -.3 W= 1.6
Resultant V_RMS = 1.1

At Dome: Resultant 6.9 m/s
U= -5.0 V= 2.9 W= 2.8
Resultant V_RMS = 2.2
