Abstrakt: Spatial distribution of Čerenkov radiation of extensive air shower particles with energies 1013–1016 eV is simulated by the CORSIKA code for conditions and configuration of the Tunka-25 facility. Based on the calculated results, sets of approximating functions are constructed for different primary particles and zenith angles. A comparison of the calculated spatial distribution functions of Čerenkov light with the functions measured on the Tunka-25 facility demonstrates the feasibility of identification of the particle initiating the shower and determination of its energy in the vicinity of the bend point of the cosmic ray spectrum.
