GEMINI SOUTH WIND TEST DATA CODE ID = t04560oc

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 : open
  • Downwind gate: closed

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

At -X: Resultant 2.8 m/s
U= -1.5 V= -2.3 W= .7
Resultant V_RMS = .0

At -Y: Resultant .4 m/s
U= .1 V= -.1 W= .0
Resultant V_RMS = .2

At M2: Resultant .6 m/s
U= .1 V= -.3 W= .2
Resultant V_RMS = .3

At Dome: Resultant 4.1 m/s
U= .2 V= -.2 W= 1.1
Resultant V_RMS = 2.3
