Abstract
Computer models of wind flow over topography are run to establish appr opriate values of Topographic Multipliers for both gust wind speeds an d mean wind speeds at and above ground level. The work was initially u ndertaken to test the rules in the Australian Standard [1]. It is foun d that the rules are too lax for peak multipliers for two-dimensional escarpments, embankments and ridges in neutrally stratified boundary l ayers.
