Abstract. The internal combustion engine (IC Engine) has found its place in various industries and consumer products, from generators to trucks and cars. They are also one of the most polluting devices developed, hence it is paramount to reduce the emissions from IC engines and to optimize their design to provide maximum performance with the least input possible. To hasten this process and reduce costs, the concept of simulation of IC engines comes into play. By allowing quicker and cheaper results, it is possible to test out many different variations and narrow down the possible designs which may then be experimentally tested and verified. Simulation plays a key role in the concept generation and concept selection process of the design and development of IC engines.
