I have made an extensive series of numerical simulations of aspherical PNs. This interacting-winds model consists of a point source of fast tenuous gas embedded in a flattened cloud of dense slow gas which is two-dimensional and cylindrically symmetric. I used a hydrocode specially designed to handle the extremely large gradients between the winds to second order accuracy. The outer shock shapes correspond very well to my analytic predictions. This shock may form cusps which compress the gas to form two rings on opposite sides of the equatorial plane.
