GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = c09030oo

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

  • Wind attack direction to SLIT = 090 degree Azimuth angle
  • Zenith angle = 30 degree (60 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : open
  • Downwind gate: open

(max wind = 20 m/s)

At +X: Resultant 9.5 m/s
U= -9.0 V= 1.3 W= 2.4
Resultant V_RMS = .9

At -X: Resultant 6.5 m/s
U= -6.3 V= .7 W= .4
Resultant V_RMS = 1.1

At -Y: Resultant 8.8 m/s
U= -8.6 V= 1.8 W= .1
Resultant V_RMS = 1.0

At M2: Resultant 2.4 m/s
U= -1.6 V= -1.0 W= -.4
Resultant V_RMS = 1.0

At Dome: Resultant 3.4 m/s
U= 1.3 V= -1.7 W= 1.1
Resultant V_RMS = 1.3
