The paper considers an element in the radiation-plasmadynamic mathematical models hierarchy, the models are intended for studying the pulsed electric discharge sources of various classes. It uses computational research to obtain data on the radiation-plasmadynamic processes and phenomena in the pulsed erosive electric discharge sources of the ultraviolet radiation and shock waves of various types. The paper considers mainly the open unlimited and surface discharges. It analyzes, among the other issues, accounting for the magnetic field; this topic is being insignificantly studied to date in thermophycs of the dynamic processes and discharge plasma. However, it should be noted that magnetic field, in turn, is affecting significantly characteristic parameters of the electrophysical systems and power plants.
