Abstract. The article presents a two-dimensional economical computational model of the formation of D-T mixture cryogenic layer in a spherical shell. The model is based on the description of the motion of the gas phase in the Boussinesq approximation. The thermal problem is a Stefan problem with a gas-solid phase transition. The technique is based on the finite volume method, the use of a structured mobile grid, whose movement is associated with the separation of the phase front, implicit approximations and the method of splitting two-dimensional equations in directions into one-dimensional equations. It is numerically shown that, due to natural radioactivity, the target is symmetrized. A calculated estimation of the symmetrization time for one geometry of the target with different filling coefficients is carried out.

Key Words: cryogenic target, Navier-Stokes equation in the Boussinesq approximation, finite volume method, structured mobile grid
