This study proposes a systematic and hierarchical multi-physics coupling simulation method to model the combustion and heat transfer phenomena inside the regenerative cooling thrust chamber subsystem of a LOX/methane rocket engine. The method is validated through a verification case and comparisons with steady-state test data, showing its effectiveness and revealing the locations of transition to supercritical state within the cooling channels.
A systematic and hierarchical multi-physics coupling simulation method is proposed to model the combustion, combustion-gas transonic flow, coolant transcritical flow, and transient heat transfer phenomena inside the regenerative cooling thrust chamber subsystem of a LOX/methane rocket engine. By combining this algorithm with a self-developed platform, two distributed parameter modules are developed. Based on the ground test conditions of a LOX/methane engine, a verification case is established, and transient simulation studies are conducted. Comparisons with steady-state test data show that the calculated errors for coolant temperature rise and pressure drop are not higher than 4%. The simulation results reveal the locations where the transition from liquid to supercritical state occurs within the cooling jacket and provide three peril points of wall temperature on the thrust chamber. This study comprehensively reveals the occurrence of transcritical transient processes inside the cooling channels during the regenerative cooling process, laying the foundation for future entire system simulation.
