In this present generation, the computer has evolved a major requirement to solve complex problems. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has found more and more applications in diesel engine research, design and development. Using these experimental tests to reduce the number of investigated parameters as well as time and thus costs. The various successful applications have proven the reliability of using CFD tools to assist combustion in diesel engine research. By using CFD tools effectively it is easy to predict and analyze various details that are technically difficult like in cylinder process of diesel engine combustion, temperature & pressure contours, emissions etc. Combustion is one of the most complicated process in CI engine. The combustion causes rise in the temperature in the combustion chamber, due to the high temperature various parts of the engine are subjected to thermal stresses which cause failure of these components. In order to avoid various failures, it is necessary to make a study of combustion. So, the preventive measures can be taken. In this project, analysis of combustion is done using diesel and turmeric fuel is also used for combustion analysis replacing diesel. Alternate fuel is used, as there is only 30% of conventional fuel is left in our planet. This study is done using CFD tools and got temperature and pressure contours. An engine is modeled in CATIA, meshed using ANSYS ICEM 15.0 and analysis of combustion is done in ANSYS FLUENT 15.0
