Abstract
Hypersonic bipolar outflows are a ubiquitous phenomena associated with both young and highly evolved stars. Observations of Planetary Nebulae, the nebulae surrounding Luminous Blue Variables such as Eta Carinae, Wolf Rayet bubbles, the circumstellar environment of SN 1987A and Young Stellar Objects all reveal high velocity outflows with a wide range of shapes. In this paper I review the current state of our theoretical understanding of these outflows.
