Based on numerical solution of the Navier-Stokes three-dimensional 
stationary equations by a factorized finite-volume method, 
the influence of physical viscosity on self-organizing jet-vortex 
structures in a dimple on a plane immersed in a laminar 
flow is analyzed with allowance for the asymmetry of the dimple shape.
