Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods related to thermal management systems for gas turbine engines. For example, a thermal management system comprises a fuel circuit, comprising a burn line and a recirculation line, and a burn line fuel-oil cooler, coupled to the burn line and an oil circuit. The oil circuit comprises a sending portion, configured to carry oil from the burn line fuel-oil cooler to an engine lube system, and a returning portion, configured to carry oil from the engine lube system to the burn line fuel-oil cooler. The thermal management system further comprises a recirculation fuel-oil cooler, coupled to the recirculation line and the returning portion, and an air-fuel cooler coupled to the recirculation line.
