Scientific paper

The ESO Very Large Telescope consists of an array of four telescopes operated in the free atmosphere. The telescopes are protected against strong winds by a semi-permeable wind-shield oriented normal to the prevailing winds. The paper describes the studies performed for the concept of the wind-shield, and in particular mathematical simulations with a two-dimensional finite-element model for fluid flow were undertaken. Two design concepts for the wind-shield are described, which are presently envisaged: a fixed structure with louvers, and a completely removable structure. The structure will be some 24 m high, stretching the width of the platform (approximately 160 m).
