Keeping up with ever more detailed observations, Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) explosion models have seen a brisk development over the past years. The aim is to construct a self-consistent picture of the physical processes in order to gain the predictive power necessary to answer questions arising from the application of SNe Ia as cosmological distance indicators. We review recent developments in modeling these objects focusing on three-dimensional simulations.
