Operating Francis turbines at partial discharge is often hindered by the development of the helical vortex (so-called vortex rope) downstream the runner, in the draft tube cone. The unsteady pressure field induced by the precessing vortex rope may also lead to hydro-acoustic resonance. In this paper a simple and robust, method to mitigate the vortex rope by using an axial water jet issued from the crown tip is evaluated. The vortex rope jet control method is investigated experimental on the tes
