Abstract

An approach based on solution of complete averaged Navier–Stokes equations in vortex chambers using a low‐Reynolds k–ε 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.
