A hydrofoil cavitating flow control structure includes a hydrofoil. A primary protuberant stripe is disposed in a middle position of a suction side of the hydrofoil, a plurality of symmetrically-distributed secondary protuberant stripes are disposed obliquely at both sides of the primary protuberant stripe, and the plurality of secondary protuberant stripes are uniformly and equidistantly distributed along the length direction of the primary protuberant stripe. By changing geometric parameters such as an included angle between the primary protuberant stripe and the second protuberant stripe, a ratio of cross section diameters and a distribution spacing of the second protuberant stripes along a chord length direction of the hydrofoil and the like, the shedding of cloud cavitation on a hydrofoil surface is effectively suppressed, and cavitation erosion and pressure pulsation generated by cavitation collapse is reduced, thus improving the operation efficiency and the service life of hydraulic machinery.
