The self-focusing evolution in collisional plazma is considered under both thermal and pondermotive nonlinear effects. To simulate the plazma motion full nonlinear hydrodynamical equations are used. The detailed description of original numerical algorithms for the dynamical and stationary problems is represented. Numerical simulation shows the complicated character of a transient process which is of the independent interest.
