An approach based on solution of complete averaged 
Navier-Stokes equations in vortex chambers using a low-Reynolds 
k -  model of turbulence is considered. 
The problem is solved in the variables vortex, stream function, and 
circular component of the velocity. The method of oriented pseudoconvection 
is used for problems of the dynamics of twisted flows. The method 
allows one to retain second order of accuracy of convective terms 
and provide stability of the solution for rather high Reynolds numbers. 
The problem of formulation of boundary conditions of second order 
of accuracy for vorticity on a solid wall at angular points is considered. 
An analysis of the results obtained shows that numerical calculations 
within the framework of the considered model of turbulence agree with 
experimental data rather well.
