Although the compression ignition (C.I.) engine, invented by Rudolf Diesel, was originally intended to work with pure vegetable oils as fuel, more than a century ago, it was adapted to be used with a fuel of fossil origin, obtained from oil. Therefore, there would be no technical difficulties in returning to the primitive design of using biofuels of renewable origin, such as vegetable oils. The main drawback is found in the one billion C.I. engines which are currently in use, which would have to undergo a modification in the injection system in order to adapt them to the higher viscosity of vegetable oils in comparison to that of fossil fuels. Thus, the gradual incorporation of biofuels as substitutes of fossil fuels is mandatory.

This Special Issue will highlight the latest advances in numerical modeling of combustion-related applications. With the recent advancements in computational capacities and the widespread use of simulations in engineering problems, numerical methods are becoming increasingly important to improve existing models and develop new models that can help researchers to better understand the underlying mechanisms of combustion, their interaction with other physical phenomena, such as turbulence, and their impacts on the performance of related applications at both fundamental and practical levels.
