We assume that the outburst of classical novae is the result of transfer of H-rich material from a red secondary star to a He or C/O white dwarf and the development of a thermonuclear runaway in the e-degenerate “base of the accreted H-rich envelope. Based on these assumptions, we have investigated this problem in several stages of increasing theoretical complexity and physical realism.
