In the present paper, the problem of determining the initial conditions that ensure the uniqueness of mathe-matical modeling of an electric discharge in water is formulated and solved. A method has been developed to determine the initial values of the discharge characteristics, ensuring their agreement with each other. The efficiency of the method is demonstrated by an example of an electric discharge in water, for which experimental data are known. The influence of arbitrary parameters of the electric discharge system on the results of its mathematical modeling is determined. The study made it possible to significantly improve the adequacy of the previously developed mathematical model to the physical processes of discharge in water at its initial stage.
Keywords: electric discharge in water, mathematical modeling, initial discharge conditions, the specific electric conductivity of the plasma, the resistance of the discharge channel.
