This work introduces the educational code development library “CFD Sinflow Library” specialized in 2D numerical methods in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and termal science. This library is for research, educational, and engineering purposes like an open and platform independent architecture. The library was developed with C++ standard programming language using an object‐oriented approach allowing educators and graduation/undergraduation students to access the numerical methods in a simplified way. The numerical capabilities and results quality are evaluated, where comparisons are made with benchmark and analytical solutions. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
