Abstract: The series of dimensionless parameters for the generalized representation of the space-time parameters of underwater explosions is supplemented taking into account the influence of density and velocity of sound in the liquid on shock-wave propagation.

Keywords: underwater explosion, similarity criteria, characteristic explosion parameters.
