Gas motion within the cylinder is one of the major factors that control the combustion process in spark ignition engine. It also has significant impact on heat transfer. Both the bulk gas motion and the turbulence characteristics of the flow are important and governing the overall behavior of the flow. An arrangement for obtaining a stratified charge, using port injection, is proposed for a current design of a spark ignition engine. The behavior of combustion are simulated with Computational

Some concepts for premixed lean burn are introduced during the previous decade and with this state of the art concept the swirl and tumble flow pattern can generate in each speed, therefore the effect of these pattern on lean burn limit is investigated.
