The Hubble Space Telescope observations showed that some nova outbursts may not produce smooth shells of gas, but thousands of gaseous blobs. In the case of T Pyx the blobs are distributed in eight concentric circles around the exploding star, producing a pattern similar to tree rings. We explore here the formation of the tree rings by hydrodynamical simulations.
