GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = e00030c4

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: 4 *** unkno

At +X: Resultant .3 m/s
U= -.1 V= .0 W= -.2
Resultant V_RMS = .1

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

At -Y: Resultant .4 m/s
U= .0 V= -.2 W= -.2
Resultant V_RMS = .1

At M2: Resultant 3.0 m/s
U= 1.2 V= 1.2 W= 1.8
Resultant V_RMS = 1.1

At Dome: Resultant 11.6 m/s
U= 1.1 V= 9.2 W= 7.0
Resultant V_RMS = .3
