Fund Project: Authors are grateful to participants of the seminar "Topological Methods in Dynamics" for fruitful discussions. The classification results (Sections 1–6 without Subsections 5.2, 5.3) were obtained with the support of the Russian Science Foundation (project 17-11-01041). The realisation results (Subsection 5.2, Section 7) were obtained as an output of the research project "Topology and Chaos in Dynamics of Systems, Foliations and Deformation of Lie Algebras (2018)" implemented as part of the Basic Research Program at the National Research University Higher School of Economics (HSE). The algorithmic results (Subsection 5.3, Section 8) were obtained with the support of Russian Foundation for Basic Research 16-31-60008-mol-a-dk and with LATNA laboratory, National Research University Higher School of Economics.

Structurally stable (rough) flows on surfaces have only finitely many singularities and finitely many closed orbits, all of which are hyperbolic, and they have no trajectories joining saddle points. The violation of the last property leads to $Ω$-stable flows on surfaces, which are not structurally stable. However, in the present paper we prove that a topological classification of such flows is also reduced to a combinatorial problem. Our complete topological invariant is a multigraph, and we present a polynomial-time algorithm for the distinction of such graphs up to an isomorphism. We also present a graph criterion for orientability of the ambient manifold and a graph-associated formula for its Euler characteristic. Additionally, we give polynomial-time algorithms for checking the orientability and calculating the characteristic.
