      A hydraulic approximation technique is used to consider the detonation burning of a D_0,9³He_0,1 cord with ρ R = 0,05 g/cm² in a multilayer magnetohydrodynamic target. Magnetic heat insulation, magnetic confinement and inertial shell properties are used to ensure the burning.
      The heavy-ion driver is assumed to be able to create necessary Initial conditions for a desired burning mode. The energy contribution scale is E₀~10+100 MJ.
      This work is an, introduction to more strict and more detailed studies of magnetohydrodynamic heavy ion fusion target capabilities for thermonuclear burning.
