**1. Introduction**

The software EasyCFD [1] is a 2D simulation tool aimed at an initiation in the field of compu‐ tational fluid dynamics. The main guiding lines on its development were the simplicity and the intuitiveness of utilization, in a self-contained package. The physical domain is discretized with quadrilateral unstructured meshes, allowing the simulation to deal with complex geometries of any configuration virtually. The present work synthesizes the main physical principles and numerical models implemented for the solution of 2D fluid flow problems, including heat transfer, in arbitrarily shaped geometries.
