GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = t00000oo

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 : open
  • Downwind gate: open

At +X: Resultant 4.1 m/s
U= -.7 V= 3.3 W= .9
Resultant V_RMS = 1.6

At -X: Resultant 6.2 m/s
U= 3.1 V= 4.7 W= 1.7
Resultant V_RMS = .9

At -Y: Resultant 3.1 m/s
U= -1.8 V= -.1 W= .4
Resultant V_RMS = 1.5

At M2: Resultant 5.8 m/s
U= -.1 V= 4.1 W= 3.3
Resultant V_RMS = 2.2

At Dome: Resultant 13.1 m/s
U= -6.8 V= 7.4 W= -5.3
Resultant V_RMS = 5.3
