GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = t04530oo

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

(max wind = 20 m/s)

At +X: Resultant 7.4 m/s
U= -6.1 V= 3.5 W= 1.9
Resultant V_RMS = .9

At -X: Resultant 3.1 m/s
U= -2.0 V= -.9 W= 1.9
Resultant V_RMS = .9

At -Y: Resultant 6.1 m/s
U= -5.5 V= 2.0 W= .5
Resultant V_RMS = 1.8

At M2: Resultant 1.8 m/s
U= -.1 V= -.4 W= -.6
Resultant V_RMS = .9

At Dome: Resultant 5.8 m/s
U= .5 V= -1.0 W= 1.1
Resultant V_RMS = 4.6
