To investigate the theory of stellar evolution, numerical methods of radioactive hydrodynamics are used to study the pulsations of the planetary nebula core, FG Sge. Initial model parameters (1 solar mass, 3200 solar luminosities, and effective temperatures of 5500 K) are presented, and the formation of a cold extended envelope, during the growth of the pulsation amplitude, is obtained. The interaction between the pulsations and the extended atmosphere is seen to cause powerful, quasi-periodic shock waves, which are responsible for the mass loss. Energy loss due to ionization, dissociation, and radiative cooling is estimated and its value is compared with the energy loss due to artificial viscosity. A quasi-periodic light curve is obtained computationally, which agrees qualitatively with the observed curve; the cause of the quasi-periodicity of the light curve is also the interaction between the pulsations and the extended envelope.
