Abstract

Preliminary results of 1-D fully hydrodynamic numerical calculations including accretion and mass loss on a 1M ⊙ hot white dwarf are presented. For the case of M = 10-8 M ⊙/yr and T eff = 125000°K we get flashes of duration of ~ 30 – 40 yrs which reccur every ~ 1500 years. During each flash ~ 6 ×10-6M⊙ is lost (~ 40% of the accreted envelope.
