The numerical decision of the self-similar problem about low-dense gas compression by dense shell is presented in the report. The problem`s setup [1] related to spherical implosion of thermonuclear ICF is taken as a base. It was considered by authors [1] as test for instability`s development simulation in a heavy-weight shell decelerating by low-dense gas. Appropriate numerical simulation was reported by us at [2]. The modification of statement [1] is presented now to study the instability’s development processes at the target’s slices interface for nuclear fusion with inertial confinement [3]. There was solved a pure hydrodynamic problem without any consideration of energy’s transforming from ion (laser) beam to compressive pulse. The main distinction of presented from [1] is in dividing of outer shell onto two slices and in prescribing the temporal function of energy input at outer slice.

It was studied here the features of low-dense gas’s compression and appearance of unstable fluxes for a different temporal functions of energy unit. The IGLA [4] calculations have no any sub-grid turbulence models or adjusting parameters. Hydrodynamics IGLA code is the modification of Harlow [5, 6] particle-in-cell method.
