A series of hydrodynamic simulations is presented, related to laser compression of matter. In particular, low entropy compression of hydrogen is studied in order to reach the metallic phase transition. Anomalous hydrodynamic phenomena like shock splitting and rarefaction shocks occuring in the neighbourhood of the phase transition are investigated for a special configuration.
