“…The results showed that the pressure fluctuations, when compared to the sealed enclosure configuration, decreased considerably, while the mean pressure on the primary mirror increased. Tahi et al (2005b) also performed detailed and thorough comparisons between CFD predictions and WT measurements for different VLOT configurations and wind conditions. The comparisons were focused mainly on the effect of the pressure wind loads on the primary mirror of the telescope.…”
