    A primitive variable finite element method for solving swirling incompressible flow problems is presented. A flow problem of physical importance is analysed and the results are critically compared with an earlier solution [\textit{Z. Lavan}, \textit{H. Nielsen} and \textit{A. A. Fejer}, Phys. Fluids 12, 1747-1757 (1969; Zbl 0193.262)]. The numerical solution of a problem characterized by a particular choice of Reynolds number and swirl ratio is discussed in detail; this problem is proposed as a benchmark for general swirling flow calculations.
