We present high-precision measurements of elliptic, triangular, and quadrangular flow $v_2$, $v_3$, and $v_4$, respectively, at midrapidity for identified hadrons $\pi$, $p$, $K$, $\phi$, $K_s$, $\mathrm{\Lambda }$ as a function of centrality and transverse momentum in Au+Au collisions at the center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s_{NN}}=200$ GeV. We observe similar $v_n$ trends between light and strange mesons which indicates that the heavier strange quarks flow as strongly as the lighter up and down quarks. The number-of-constituent-quark scaling for $v_2$, $v_3$, and $v_4$ is found to hold within statistical uncertainty for $0\text{–}10\%$, $10\text{–}40\%$, and $40\text{–}80\%$ collision centrality intervals. The results are compared to several viscous hydrodynamic calculations with varying initial conditions, and could serve as an additional constraint to the development of hydrodynamic models.
