This paper examines the influence of the ionization cost of molecules on the results of mathematical modeling of an electric discharge in water. A function approximating the dependence of the ionization cost of molecules on plasma temperature is proposed, and its parameters are determined. The adequacy of the refined mathematical model to the physical processes in the discharge channel and closed discharge chamber over a wide range of system parameters is substantiated by comparison with experimental data. The resulting relationships significantly improve the adequacy of the previously developed mathematical model to the physical processes occurring during a discharge in water and expand the range of parameters over which it can be used.
Keywords: mathematical modeling, electric discharge in water, ionization cost of molecules, specific electrical conductivity of plasma, discharge channel resistance.
