Young supernova remnants (SNR) inject the nucleosynthesis products of supernova explosions into the interstellar medium (ISM). An investigation is conducted regarding the SNR expansion in a homogeneous medium, taking into account the virial theorem, self-similar solutions, and the entropy of hot gas in SNR. Questions concerning the SNR expansion in a cloudy medium are also explored, giving attention to the evaporation of clouds, the dynamics of evaporative SNR, and the rim of an evaporative SNR. It is pointed out that numerical modelling is required to include all the important effects associated with mass, momentum, and energy exchange among the different components of the ISM. The results of studies involving the use of numerical models are discussed, and an attempt is made to explain the complex structure observed in SNR with the models considered. The effect of SNR on the ISM is also studied.
