After the supernova shock wave has swepted up about 8–10 stellar masses of interstellar material, the SNR structure is well described by blast wave theory (eg. Sedov 1959, Chevalier 1977). In fact, both numerical calculations of the early phases (Jones, Smith, and Straka 1981) and small scale, laboratory simulations (Wilke 1982) show transition to blast wave at 8–10 masses. While the late stages have been well understood for some time, the early stages have only been crudely modeled until very recently.
