The method for providing the contact surface of gases to study the Richtmyer–Meshkov and Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities development with the P-membrane being destroyed forcedly is proposed. At the membrane destruction, the plane turbulent layer determining the initial and boundary conditions for the gravitational instabilities development is formed. For the shock tube OSA, the initial stage of the development of the turbulent layer from the P-membrane, after the interaction with a stationary shock wave (Ms = 1.81) has been investigated.
