Scientific paper

Similarity solution for the interaction of stellar wind with surrounding interstellar medium is obtained on the basis of momentum conservation. The conversion efficiency of kinetic energy of stellar wind into the kinetic energy of an expanding shell is derived. The results are compared with the observations on the ring nebulae associated with the Wolf-Rayet stars, and it is shown that the observed values of energy conversion are in good agreement with the momentum conserving model.
