Nuclear-powered oscillations during Type-I X-ray bursts have so far revealed the spin of about twenty accreting millisecond pulsars in low-mass X-ray binaries. We study the properties of such burst oscillations by means of numerical computations of hot spots on the neutron star surface. We use adaptive mesh refinement hydrodynamical simulations to model the ignition and spreading of thermonuclear flames. We present the results from such computations and discuss the implications for accretion rates on neutron stars and constraints on their geometrical properties.
