Abstract
In this article we will present a proposal for the use of computational fluid dynamics under an educational perspective, targeting disciplines of fluid mechanics and transport phenomena, on initial periods of engineering and physics courses. The importance of the use of simulation in undergraduated education is widely supported by the literature, however, is proposing to work it so not only statement, but the final users as officer directly responsible for handling and encode data and results of simulations. Second, a manipulation and control interface for the opensource software OpenFOAM, in order to take out the users the responsibility of editing the source code and scripts of typical control of this program.
