Abstract
In this paper, we establish the scientific basis for the generation of intense hydroacoustic waves in a liquid as a result of the detonation of a stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen. The idea of the possibility of carrying out this process with the help of a deep-water electrolyzer, which was confirmed experimentally, is expressed. The processes of combustion and detonation of a stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen and oxygen surrounded by a liquid medium and the initial conditions for an increase in pressure and temperature at the interface between detonation products and a liquid medium at the moment of explosion decay, providing the emergence and propagation of a hydroacoustic wave in a liquid medium, were studied using mathematical modeling methods. The dependence of the peak pressure of the resulting wave, the duration of its positive phase, and the duration of the first wave period on the volume of hydrogen and oxygen, pressure, and other parameters is estimated. The possibility of using the established effect to enhance oil production in oil and gas production is shown.
