Despite wide research and development in applying alternatives to internal combustion engines, there hasn\u2019t been any significant acceptance in the global market. With all the downsides of producing emissions, noise and fossil fuel consumption, still even the modern mechanical and automobile industry relies heavily on IC engines. The possible reasons for such an acute inclination are mainly due to the cost-effectiveness and the ability to generate high motive power with sustainability, where electric technology fails to cope up with.<\/p>\n

Over the years though, engines have become more eco-friendly, compact and noise-free, as manufacturers are forced to follow stringent norms, leading to aggressive research and innovation.<\/p>\n

However, the pursuit of reaching excellence in IC engine technology couldn\u2019t have been possible without the aid of computers. Engine designers extensively make use of computational fluid dynamics to understand the complex combustion phenomenon and the impact of engine components on fluid flow, to perform design modifications or apply innovative design solutions.<\/p>\n
