Abstract
The behaviour of peak-gust wind-speeds taken from wind-tunnel tests over a smooth isolated hill is investigated. The data are presented in terms of the flow conditions at each position over the hill and their values are compared with some recent draft building code developments. Their behaviour is shown to be adequately explained in terms of existing understanding based on the undistorted flow over flat terrain. Significant terrain effects are only evident in regions of suspected flow separation in the lee of the hill.
