The study of interactions of low velocity shocks with molecular clouds represents an important and interesting class of astro-hydrodynamical calculations, because these studies help understand the first step of triggered star formation. Because of the complexity of equations describing these processes, numerical calculations are needed. In this work we present some results of a hydrocode which is able to follow the processes after the collision between the cloud and the shock front. The main result of this paper is focused on two new methods for calculating the effect of radiative cooling in optically thin approximation. The new methods are more accurate and need less CPU-time than the usually applied methods.
