The paper concludes the characters of methanol as a fuel in engines. Based on the kiva3v program, it conducts the multidimensional numerical simulation of the operation process in cylinder of a methanolfueled engine to obtain the detail information and performance graphic charts, as well as the real time data of pressure, temperature and so on. It is helpful for the research on methanolfueled engines. The results indicate that the methanol is a green alternative fuel and the methanolfueled engines have steady operations and lower emissions by comparing the numerical results with the data of gasoline engine.
