Abstract
Hydrodynamic processes in the discharge chamber of a device intended to increase the fluid conductivity of the porous medium in the well bottom zone are studied. Spatial and temporal characteristics of the pressure waves resulting from an electric discharge in a fluid are determined. The effect of the performance of the electric‐discharge device and the wellbore fluid pressure on the dynamic load acting on the wellbore wall are determined.
