The periodically unsteady flow-induced impeller oscillations for a single-blade pump are investigated both numerically and experimentally under off-design conditions. A partitioned strategy with load transfer method is selected for achieving successful fluid–structure interaction (FSI) simulations with strong two-way coupling. Three-dimensional, unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations are solved with a shear stress transport turbulence model for the fluid side, while a transient structure dynamic analysis with the finite element method is employed for the structure side. Radial deflections of the pump impeller are successfully measured using proximity sensors to validate the FSI results. The comparison of the deflection results focuses on both phase and amplitude aspects under different operational conditions. The FSI calculation results are confirmed by the experiment, but deviations are still observed for about half of an impeller rotation. Therefore, a rigorous analysis of the comparison between the angles of the obtained x and y components is carried out to understand the cause of the deviation. Meanwhile, the transient pressure measured at the casing by both computational fluid dynamics and experimental methods is qualitatively analyzed. Furthermore, hydrodynamic forces are also analyzed considering a strong FSI effect in both the rotating and stationary coordinate frame under off-design conditions to understand the behavior of the transient excitation forces, which directly lead to the rotor deflection.
