GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = q04560co

Average and RMS wind pressures and average wind velocities were calculated from the wind test in the following conditions:

  • Wind attack direction to SLIT = 045 degree Azimuth angle
  • Zenith angle = 60 degree (30 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : closed
  • Downwind gate: open
FIGURE SUMMARY

(max wind = 20 m/s)

At +X: Resultant .6 m/s
U= .2 V= -.2 W= .0
Resultant V_RMS = .3

At -X: Resultant .6 m/s
U= -.1 V= .2 W= -.1
Resultant V_RMS = .2

At -Y: Resultant .6 m/s
U= -.2 V= -.1 W= .1
Resultant V_RMS = .4

At M2: Resultant 1.1 m/s
U= .8 V= -.3 W= .3
Resultant V_RMS = .4

At Dome: Resultant 34.0 m/s
U=-19.6 V= 19.6 W=-19.7
Resultant V_RMS = .6
