The development of basis of dynamics of a steam-water mixture is presented. This development is based on usage of effect of local criticality. The examples of the solution of concrete problems of dynamics of a geothermal mixture are shown. The explanation to existence of stages of the critical efflux is given. The guidelines for calculation of a flow, estimation of hydraulic shocks and pressure oscillations are submitted.
