GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = e00030c1

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 = 30 degree (60 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : closed
  • Downwind gate: 1 *** unkno

(max wind = 20 m/s)

At +X: Resultant .8 m/s
U= -.6 V= .1 W= .0
Resultant V_RMS = .3

At -X: Resultant 1.1 m/s
U= .0 V= .8 W= .2
Resultant V_RMS = .5

At -Y: Resultant .8 m/s
U= -.1 V= .4 W= -.2
Resultant V_RMS = .4

At M2: Resultant 4.2 m/s
U= 2.2 V= 2.4 W= .8
Resultant V_RMS = 1.6

At Dome: Resultant 11.7 m/s
U= 3.0 V= 9.1 W= 6.7
Resultant V_RMS = .4
