CFD analysis in internal combustion engine is aims to improve process parameter which improves performance of engine and in turns providing fuel economy. In first part of this thesis, the CFD analysis is carried out for single cylinder four stroke petrol engine to analyze the performance parameters in suction stroke and power stroke. The CAD geometric model is prepared in solid works software and imported to ANSYS software to perform CFD analysis in IC engine module. To predict the behavior of the engine during its working two type of analysis can be performed namely port flow simulation and combustion simulation. Port flow analysis is carried out to find the velocity magnitude of air during suction stroke. Maximum velocity of air reaches to value of 7.01 m/sec which ensure proper swirling better mixing with fuel to be injected. A result of port flow simulation indicates that valve lift affects velocity flow field inside the cylinder.
