A characterization of mean and turbulent flow behaviour over complex topographywas conducted using a large-scale (1 : 25) model in the WindEEE Dome atWestern University. The specific topographic feature considered was theBolund Hill escarpment facing westerly winds. A total of eight unique inflowconditions were tested in order to isolate the impact of key parameters suchas Reynolds number, inflow shear profile, and effective roughness, on flowbehaviour over the escarpment.  The results show that the mean flow behaviour was generally not affected bythe Reynolds number; however, a slight increase in speed-up over theescarpment was observed for cases with lower inflow roughness. The shape ofthe inflow wind shear profile also had a minor impact on the mean flow nearthe escarpment. More significant effects were observed in the turbulent flowbehaviour, where the turbulent kinetic energy (TKE) over the escarpment wasfound be a strong function of inflow roughness and a weak function of theReynolds number. The local change in the inflow wind shear was found to havethe most significant influence on the TKE magnitude, which more closelyapproximated the full-scale TKE data, a result which had not been previouslyobserved in wind tunnel modelling of this topography
