摘要
Based on modern 1D-radiation-hydrodynamics simulations of formation and evolution of planetary nebulae, I discuss in detail the basic dynamical processes responsible for the "grand design" of most planetary nebulae, i.e. their double-shell morphology and their typical expansion properties. Special emphasis is given for a proper definition of a nebula's true expansion rate and its relation to spectroscopically measurable Doppler velocities of the expanding material. It is found that the typical nebular expansion is about twice as fast as hitherto assumed, viz. similar or equal to 45 kms(-1) .
