Characterization and simulation of internaI flow within the solid rocket motors, considering the physicalmechanisms strongly coupled, are the main focus of this thesis objective. In this context, the conjunctionbetween fluid/regression surface/fluid coupling structure imposed deploy c1ean during the development ofnumerical modeling strategy. Indeed, the model incorporates treatment coupled with an immersed boundarytracking moving boundary in order to realize the tremendous internai geometric variation experienced during ashot. Fluid side, an automatic mesh is required and the management of the latter is based on a recursivehierarchical structure development with type 2" tree. Particular attention was paid to the solver itself with anexplicit approach to time and a numerical scheme based on the approach of Roe with flow limiter in the secondorder. Tests cases were conducted to validate the sol ver and different boundary conditions introduced, inc1udingspecific conditions developed for the purpose of simulation. The first results emphasize the interest of theproposed and unless our error model, for the first time, the analysis of the sources responsible vortex instabilitiesin these engines has been studied by incorporating the effects of continuous change in geometry. Finally, thefeasibility of a strong interaction between fluid and solid solver was conducted on a simplified model of a multiengine.AlI the developments allows access to complex mechanisms coupled and strong interactions in solidrocket motors and off ers new insights into the characterization of strongly coupled mechanisms.
