Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) is one of the important and popular engines which applied in many industries such as automotive and others. Therefore, many researches are developing the investigation of the all aspects of it to have an optimized and efficient design. One of the main and primitive parts of the engine designing is the investigation of the combustion phenomena. This is certainly multi-physics phenomena involving fluid dynamics, heat transfer, chemical reactions, etc. There are two approaches to perform this. One is experimental works which need the well-equipped engine labs. The other is the numerical simulation of the turbulent combustion. This can be done with some commercial packages such FLUENT or with developing new CFD1 codes. Both approach have advantages and limitations as well. However, by continues developing computation technologies the CFD branch attract scientists to extend the methods such as numerical schemes and other optimizations to simulate different Fluid Mechanics problems. CFD is cheaper compared with experimental techniques in most of cases since we need only a processor and storage to save the results obtained. Also, CFD can be employed to wide range of problems and modified easily by the code developer. Therefore, numerical simulation of ICE, which is one of most complicated mechanical devices, sounds really interesting for engine design and improvement techniques to enhance its performance.
