Flu pipe between a turbine vent and side wall. Also a ridge vent above.

I don't see those turbine vents around here so I'm not sure about it.
I need some ideas on this so I finish the report.

Kevin,
Forget the wind driven turbin, the problem is the adjacent vertical wall!

Well Phillip,
That's what I thought, but just for curiosity, if not for the vertical wall what would be the rule for the turbine and flu.

Re: No replies in the roofing section, maybe here
IRC says:
- G2427.6.7 (503.6.7) Forced air inlets. Gas vents shall terminate not less than 3 feet (914 mm) above any forced air inlet located within 10 feet (3048 mm).
But, that is not a " forced air *inlet* ". Just something to keep in mind, though.
I did not find reference to 'building openings', which is what I was looking for. Bob H., is there a requirement for separation from 'building openings'?
