The results of the application of PIV technique to study the turbulent structure of cavitating flows around a cascade of NACA0015 series hydrofoils are presented. Based on instantaneous velocity fields measured, spatial distributions of the mean velocity were calculated as well as the second-order statistical moments of liquid velocity fluctuations. Quantitative characteristics of the flows around the cascade and a solitary profile were demonstrated to be considerably different due mainly to discrepancies in distributions of the mean pressure and mutual impact of cavitation clouds.
