A classical nova model was evolved through a complete cycle, i.e. accretion leading to outburst, mass loss and again accretion, ending in another outburst, by means of an implicit Lagrangian hydrodynamic code, which included diffusion (concentration, pressure and thermal terms), as well as an extensive nuclear reactions network between 28 isotopes of C, N, O, F, Ne, Na, Mg and Al. The initial model was a 1.25 M⊙ C-O white dwarf (WD) and the accretion rate assumed was 10−11 M⊙/yr. For more details of this calculation, see Prialnik (l986).
