3D Simulations of the Local Bubble
  We have performed high resolution 3D simulations of the Local Bubble (with 1.25 pc finest resolution) in a realistic background ISM, jointly with the dynamical evolution of the neighbouring Loop I superbubble. We can reproduce (i) the size of the bubbles (in contrast to similarity solutions), (ii) the interaction shell with Loop I, discovered with ROSAT, (iii) predict the merging of the two bubbles in about 3 Myr, when the interaction shell starts to fragment, and, (iv) the generation of blobs like the Local Cloud as a consequence of a dynamical instability.
