This paper presents an investigation on modal simulation of turbocharger impeller with considering fluid-solid interaction. To demonstrate how the fluid-solid interaction affects modal parameters of the turbocharger impeller, a fluid field model of the impeller was established based on the theory of turbulence flow. Then the fluid grid was discretized and the fluid boundary condition was loaded. After obtaining the velocity and pressure distribution of the inner flow filed of the impeller by simulations, the distributed pressure was loaded onto the structure surface of the impeller to calculate the modal parameters of the impeller. Simulation results show that the solid-fluid coupling field has an influence mainly on the modal frequencies of the impeller, and less on its modal shapes. The simulation results are very useful for designing turbocharger impeller.
