For the fundamental validation of fluid-structure thermal interaction code (MUGTHES), numerical simulations for the planar triple parallel jets tests in WAJECO and PLAJEST have been conducted as the benchmark analysis. In comparison between the numerical results and the provided experimental results, thermal mixing process and large-scale eddy structures generated in the triple jets mixing and the relation between temperature fluctuation generation and large-eddy structures were revealed. And also, the attenuation process of temperature fluctuation from the fluid to the structure was indicated.
