The growing demand for cleaner and more efficient combustion technologies has spurred interest in alternative fuels and their blends. This paper discusses the methodology, key findings, and challenges associated with the CFD analysis of multi-fuel combustion, emphasizing the synergetic effects of hydrogen and biofuels on diesel combustion. The review aims to provide insights into optimizing fuel blends for improved engine performance and reduced emissions.
