Scientific paper

The interactions of a supernova blast wave with an interstellar cloud is investigated by means of high resolution two-dimensional numerical hydrodynamics. Numerical models have been computed as a function of two-dimensional parameters: the density contrast of the cloud with respect to the ambient medium and the Mach number of the shock, for an adiabatic cloud in pressure equilibrium with the unperturbed gas. Six models are computed and discussed for the dynamical evolution of the shock-cloud interaction. Applications of the numerical results are discussed for young (CAS-A) and middle-aged (Cygnus Loop) supernova remnants.
