The paper deals with the features of diffraction wave formation on the edges of cracks, where the inner cavity is filled with
liquid. The urgency of such research is dictated by practice of TOFD method application. The surface of industrial facilities
quite often is in contact with different liquids. Such facilities include, for instance, practically all the petrochemical and thermal
power equipment. Part of the equipment in the working cycle is lubricated with oil, or just operates under the conditions of
precipitation, or when surface wetting cannot be avoided. Therefore, the question of the influence of liquid on formation of edge
waves from liquid-filled cracks is of a certain interest. 6 Ref., 13 Fig.
