GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = p00060cc

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

At +X: Resultant .5 m/s
U= .2 V= -.1 W= .1
Resultant V_RMS = .2

At -X: Resultant .7 m/s
U= -.5 V= .0 W= -.4
Resultant V_RMS = .3

At -Y: Resultant .5 m/s
U= .0 V= .0 W= -.4
Resultant V_RMS = .2

At M2: Resultant 2.2 m/s
U= -1.0 V= .8 W= .7
Resultant V_RMS = 2.1

At Dome: Resultant 15.5 m/s
U= -4.5 V= 13.1 W= 6.6
Resultant V_RMS = 1.4
