5.(10 pts) A tall cylindrical chimney with a circular cross-section of diameter \( D \) and height \( H \) is subject to steady winds. It is observed that under these conditions, vortices form and are shed from the downwind side of the chimney at a frequency that can cause structural resonance. The vortex shedding frequency \( f \) depends on the diameter \( D \), height \( H \), wind speed \( V \), as well as the density \(\rho \) and viscosity \(\mu \) of the air. Use dimensional analysis (the Buckingham \(\Pi \) method) to show that
\[
S t=\phi\left(\operatorname{Re},\frac{H}{D}\right)
\]
where \(\phi \) denotes a functional dependency. The Strouhal number is
\[
S t=\frac{f D}{V}
\]
You may assume that one of the dimensionless groups is the Reynolds number and do not need to derive it. Hint: In selecting the repeating variables, use \( D \) as the reference length.
