A review of using large-eddy simulation (LES) in computational fluid dynamic studies of internal combustion engines is presented. Background material on turbulence modelling, LES approaches, specifically for engines, and the expectations of LES results are discussed. The major modelling approaches for turbulence, combustion, scalars, and liquid sprays are discussed. In each of these areas, a taxonomy is presented for the various types of models appropriate for engines. Advantages, disadvantages, and examples of use in the literature are described for the various types of models. Several recent examples of engine studies using LES are discussed. Recommendations and future prospects are included.
