Abstract
We present a two-dimensional numerical simulation of the interaction between the stellar wind blown by a Wolf-Rayet star and the local interstellar medium (ISM) through which the star is moving. Modifications of the surrounding medium due to the previous action of the main-sequence stellar wind are also considered. It is shown that the proposed scenario can naturally account for the structure of the nebula G2.4+1.4 without any particular assumption about the unperturbed local medium.Keywords
