We present a method for numerical calculation of the flow and heat transfer of a viscous incompressible fluid in a flat channel of complex shape. The mathematical flow model is based on the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations, with the stream function and the vorticity as variables, and the heat-transfer equation. An effective solution of the problem is obtained with the aid of adapted nets. An analysis is carried out of the flow structure, the temperature fields, and the local heat emission at the walls in a flat curvilinear channel for a Reynolds number Re = 1000 and Prandtl numbers Pr = 0.01 and 1.
