Abstract: Given a compact $ 2$-dimensional manifold $ M$ we classify all continuous flows $ \varphi$ without wandering points on $ M$. This classification is performed by finding finitely many pairwise disjoint open $ \varphi-$invariant subsets $ \{U_1, U_2, \ldots, U_n\}$ of $ M$ such that $ \bigcup_{i=1}^n{\overline{U_i}} = M$ and each $ U_i$ is either a suspension of an interval exchange transformation, or a maximal open cylinder made up of closed trajectories of $ \varphi$.
