  We report an analysis of the dynamical structure of clusters of galaxies from
a survey of photometric and spectroscopic observations in the fields of
southern Abell Clusters. We analyze the galaxy velocity field in extended
regions up to 7 h^-1 Mpc from cluster centers and we estimate mean velocity
dispersions and their radial dependence. Only one from a total number of 41
Abell clusters does not correspond to a dynamically bound system. However, four
of these bound objects are double clusters. We estimate that 20 % (7 clusters)
of the 35 remaining are subject to serious projection effects. Normalizing the
clustercentric distances by means of the overdensity radius r_200, and the
velocity dispersion profiles (VDPs) by the corresponding mean cluster velocity
dispersion, we computed the average VDP. Our results indicate a flat behavior
of the mean VDP at large distances from the cluster center. Nevertheless, we
found that for the inner part of the clusters (r/r_200 leq 1) the VDP is up to
a 10% smaller than at larger radii.
