The paper focuses on the influence of the reshaped elbow geometry of the draft tube on the unsteady pressure field under different operating conditions. The experimental investigations are conducted considering two simplified geometrical configurations of the draft tubes with sharp heel elbow and modified/reshaped elbow, respectively. The discriminated power spectra (rotating and plunging components) of the acquired pressure signals on the wall are determined on five levels for seven operating conditions to quantify the influence of the reshaped elbow. The influence of the reshaped elbow on the fundamental frequencies of both rotating and plunging components and on the amplitude of the rotating component is negligible. In contrast, the equivalent amplitude associated with the root mean square of the plunging power spectrum that propagates along the hydraulic passage is mitigated up to 25% by the reshaped geometry of the elbow. The equivalent amplitude on the narrow band around the fundamental frequency of the plunging component is diminished with 40–50% by reshaping the elbow geometry of the simplified draft tube.
