GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = p00030oo

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 : open
  • Downwind gate: open

(max wind = 20 m/s)

At +X: Resultant 7.1 m/s
U= -4.3 V= 5.2 W= 1.2
Resultant V_RMS = 1.8

At -X: Resultant 3.8 m/s
U= -1.0 V= 1.7 W= .7
Resultant V_RMS = 1.7

At -Y: Resultant 2.9 m/s
U= -.5 V= -1.1 W= -.6
Resultant V_RMS = 1.2

At M2: Resultant 6.5 m/s
U= -.8 V= 5.9 W= 1.3
Resultant V_RMS = 1.8

At Dome: Resultant 13.0 m/s
U= -1.5 V= 10.9 W= 6.4
Resultant V_RMS = 1.3
