In order to more accurately analyze the influence of the interaction between the aero-engine combustion chamber and the turbine, this paper establishes a combustion chamber-turbine cross-component model based on a high-pressure first-stage guide vane thermal shock test device for numerical research. The SST k-ω turbulence model, non-premixed combustion model and P1 radiation model are selected, and the test conditions are used as boundary conditions to carry out fluid-solid coupling unsteady calculation in ANSYS FLUENT. The numerical results are in good agreement with the experimental results. The complex flow field information between the combustion chamber and the turbine is obtained by analyzing the numerical results. It is found that there is an interaction between the combustion chamber and the turbine. The results show that the hot spot at the outlet of the combustion chamber will cause a stronger thermal shock to the downstream of the high-pressure first-stage guide vane during the migration process. The influence of the high-pressure first-stage guide vane on its upstream can be traced back to the position 0.3 times the chord length from the outlet of the combustion chamber.
