Recent STAR measurements of the anisotropic flow coefficients (v$_{ n}$) are presented for Au+Au collisions spanning the beam energy range $\sqrt{ s_{ NN}} = 7.7 - 200$ GeV. The measurements indicate dependences on the harmonic number ($n$), transverse momentum ($p_T$), pseudorapidity ($\eta$), collision centrality and beam energy ($\sqrt{ s_{ NN}}$) which could serve as important constraints to test different initial-state models and to aid precision extraction of the temperature dependence of the specific shear viscosity.
