The presence of dust essentially affects the optical appearance and the dynamics of circumstellar shells around LPVs, while in turn the formation of solid particles as well as their properties critically depend on the actual local conditions. Thus, a reliable modelling of the structure and dynamics of such shells requires a detailed treatment of the dust complex.

In our hydrocode, which is described in more detail in Fleischer et al. (1992), the time evolution of the dust component is treated consistently by means of a moment method (Gauger et al. 1990). For the solution of the hydrodynamical and thermodynamical problem we essentially follow the approach of Bowen (1988), except for the shocks, which so far are assumed to be isothermal.
