One of the most stressed components of a liquid rocket engine is the cooling systems of the combustion chamber. A complete 3D model loop for the cooling system thermal dimensioning has been developed and here presented. The main objective of the model is a complete and detailed description of coupled solid/coolant behaviour characterizing the liquid rocket engine cooling systems, such as threedimensional effects, supercritical behaviour of the coolant, thermo-structural behaviour of the solid. The model combines the industrial necessity to obtain proper results in reasonable times with a detailed description of the involved phenomena and specific characteristics of the configuration.
