The article deals with the influence of a shape of the smokestacks casing on the final load from wind effects. It describes possibilities of defining an equivalent aerodynamic roughness and aerodynamic drag coefficient for numerical modelling of the flow around a circular cylinder. The aim is to determine the force coefficient for a smokestack of a cylindrical shape, which is sheeted with corrugated sheet metal. The flow around a smokestack is solved in software Ansys Fluent using the DES model.
