Abstract

A mathematical model of the electrodynamic processes in the discharge circuit and the discharge chamber of an electrohydraulic installation as well as the algorithm for solving the resulting system of equations in terms of numerical methods are developed. The discharge channel expansion in water is simulated in a geometrically nonlinear model but on a stationary finite difference grid. Both the mathematical model and algorithm are tested by using the example of a solution of similar problems. The results are compared with experimental data. The influence of the finite diameter of the electrodes on transient processes in the discharge circuit and the dynamics of the discharge channel expansion are analyzed.
