GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = q00060oo

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 : open
  • Downwind gate: open
FIGURE SUMMARY

AVERAGE Wind speeds
(max wind = 20 m/s)

At +X: Resultant 3.9 m/s
U= -1.9 V= 2.5 W= .4
Resultant V_RMS = 1.8

At -X: Resultant 3.0 m/s
U= .4 V= 1.4 W= .2
Resultant V_RMS = 1.3

At -Y: Resultant 2.5 m/s
U= -1.2 V= -.8 W= -.7
Resultant V_RMS = 1.0

At M2: Resultant 2.6 m/s
U= .3 V= 1.6 W= .7
Resultant V_RMS = 1.9

At Dome: Resultant 9.5 m/s
U= -.2 V= 7.5 W= 5.5
Resultant V_RMS = 1.4
