A system for improving the effluent dispersal characteristics of smokestacks subject to relative winds, comprising a vortex generating airfoil attached to a smokestack near the stack gas exit, is described. Relative winds passing over the airfoil create strong vortices which entrain and hold together smokestack effluents until the vortices deteriorate. The vortex flow direction and angle of ascension is controlled in order to achieve optimum effluent dispersal by varying the airfoil angle of attack.
