Abstract
We present hydrodynamical and magnetohydronynamical simulations for the formation and evolution of bipolar and elliptical planetary nebulae with two interacting winds. The models are performed under the hypothesis of a single central source, i.e. binary systems are not considered and a single initial wind function is used in our calculations. We explore various relevant parameters, including the effects of stellar rotation, ionizing radiation field and stellar magnetic field, and a catalogue of resulting shapes is generated.
