description In order to achieve the thermal structural integrity analysis of the solid rocket motor nozzle accurately and efficiently, the multifield (flow-thermal-mechanical) coupled numerical investigation was carried out based on the mesh-based parallel code coupled interface. The numerical simulation process and finite element model of the coupled algorithm and engineering algorithm were obtained, while the physical model was simplified appropriately. The coupled interface parameters, internal flow field, temperature field, and stress field of the coupled algorithm were compared with the engineering algorithm results, and the effectiveness and accuracy of the numerical simulation were validated. The numerical investigations shown that both the temperature field and stress field obtained by the coupled algorithm were slightly lower than which obtained by the engineering algorithm. These were considered to be impacted by the Bartz empirical formula and the one-dimensional isentropic flow assumption. Further experimental investigations shown that the exterior surface temperature and strain of the nozzle throat obtained by the coupled algorithm were much closer to the experimental results, which further verified the accuracy of the coupled algorithm.
