The article deals with the influence of a shape of smoke stack casing on the total 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 of this study is to solve the force coefficient for the smoke stack of a cylindrical shape, which is jacketed with shaped sheets. The flow around a smoke stack is solved in the ANSYS Fluent software using the DES model.
