A combustion chamber assembly (and a piston having the combustion chamber assembly) for use in a diesel engine, includes a combustion chamber being defined in a crown of a piston, the combustion chamber having a central axis, and having a center portion being raised above a bottom plane of the combustion chamber. The center portion of the combustion chamber is defined in part by a portion of a sphere, the sphere having a radius, the origin of the radius lying on the combustion chamber central axis. The combustion chamber has a plurality of curved surfaces having smooth tangential transitions between adjacent smooth surfaces, the smooth surfaces including the spherical center portion in combination with a plurality of annular surfaces. A method of forming a combustion chamber is also included.
