GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = t00000cc

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 = 00 degree (90 degree Elevation)
  • Upwind gate : closed
  • Downwind gate: closed
FIGURE SUMMARY

TOP LEFT:
AVERAGE Wind pressure
Range= +/- 5.0 Pa

TOP RIGHT:
RMS wind pressure
Range= 0 - 3.0 Pa

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

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

At -X: Resultant 3.6 m/s
U= 2.4 V= 2.7 W= .4
Resultant V_RMS = .2

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

At M2: Resultant 2.4 m/s
U= .1 V= 1.3 W= 1.0
Resultant V_RMS = 1.3

At Dome: Resultant 5.0 m/s
U= -2.3 V= 2.4 W= -1.2
Resultant V_RMS = 3.1
