GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = e00030c2

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: 2 *** unkno

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

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

At -Y: Resultant .4 m/s
U= .0 V= .0 W= -.2
Resultant V_RMS = .2

At M2: Resultant 1.1 m/s
U= .7 V= .0 W= -.1
Resultant V_RMS = .8

At Dome: Resultant 11.8 m/s
U= 3.3 V= 9.2 W= 6.6
Resultant V_RMS = .4
