The main aim of this work was to confirm that expansion of planetary nebulae surrounding Wolf-Rayet type central stars is characterized by turbulent motions or strong variations of velocity in the radial direction relative to the nucleus. Such properties have already been found in Ml-25, M3-15 and Pel-1 by Gesicki & Acker (1995). We have analyzed the photoionization structure and velocity field of the NGC 40 - a planetary nebula with late type ([WC 8]) Wolf-Rayet nucleus. The spectra of Hα and [NII] lines have been obtained with the 1.5m telescope at the Observatoire de Haute-Provence. The spectrograph Aurelie with dispersion of 5Å/mm and a 3″ circular entrance was used. The method and the details of the applied computer codes are published in Gesicki et al. (1996).
