Extract
Based on the mass-loss description developed by Blöcker (1995, A&A, 297, 727), we present first exploratory computations of the dynamical evolution of a dusty stellar wind envelope around an intermediate mass star during the last 300 000 years on the AGB and its transformation into a planetary nebula during the following 5 000 years of post-AGB evolution. To model the dynamics of the cool dusty envelope, we used a two-component (gas/dust) 1D radiation hydrodynamics code which computes the radiation pressure on dust grains and the structure of the envelope in a self-consistent way, including the variable frictional coupling between dust and gas. The grains are either carbon or oxygen based and of single size and spherical shape.
