We review the recent nonlinear hydrodynamical results and the numerical problems to be solved by the next generation of codes. The behavior of the Fourier parameters and double-mode RR Lyrae pulsation will be discussed in detail. We emphasize the importance of the implementation of the various adaptive-mesh schemes for stellar pulsations. A further goal is the substitution of the artificial viscosity with modern shock capturing methods and a better treatment of radiative transfer. Convection however, must ultimately be included in order to supply the necessary physical mechanism for dissipation.
