Abstract
Gasdynamic features of detached shells around carbon stars with variable ma ss loss rate are investigated in detail numerically. It is shown that a she ll is unstable and also, 2D perturbations are less developed that 3D ones. The structure of perturbed flows corresponding to different evolution scena rios is compared. The results obtained seem to be promising for interpretat ion of observations, in particular, the recently obtained detailed data of TT Cyg.
