This document discusses using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to analyze wind-induced responses of tall masonry chimneys. It first reviews previous research using both experimental and numerical methods like CFD to study the effects of building design on aerodynamic forces. The document then describes how CFD and the finite volume method can be applied to model airflow and calculate drag forces on chimneys. Lastly, it notes that CFD simulations require expertise and proper modeling of factors like turbulence, and that various elements of a building's design impact its experience of wind loads.
