Abstract

We review progress in the area of the modelling of shocks in molecular clouds. In particular, we consider what has been learnt about shock structure evolution in situations where the steady-state assumption is no longer valid. We discuss the interpretation of the observed water abundance from SWAS, Odin, and ISO. We also consider the erosion of grains in shocks as well as the effect of the presence of grains on shock structure.
