Analytical methods exist to solve the problems of hydromechanics and heat transfer, but it is not possible to obtain the solution to some inhomogeneous and nonlinear problems of hydromechanics and heat transfer by analytical methods. The solution to such problems is carried out using numerical methods. Currently, there are many textbooks and monographs on numerical methods for solving problems of hydromechanics, thermal conductivity, heat and mass transfer, and others. The article presents the results of a numerical study of the flow structure in the flow around a flat plate. The calculations are based on the numerical solution of a system of nonstationary equations using a two-fluid turbulence model. For the numerical solution of these problems, schemes of the second and fourth order of accuracy were applied. The control volume method was used for the difference approximation of the initial equations, and the relationship between velocities and pressure was found using the SIMPLE procedure. To confirm the correctness of the numerical results, comparisons were made with each other and experimental data.
