Description

We present observations and analysis of the August 1987 outburst of the recurrent nova V394 CrA. This nova was extremely fast and its outburst characteristics closely resembled those of the Recurrent Nova U Sco. In addition to the observations, we have performed hydrodynamic simulations of the outbursts of recurrent novae and present a summary of these results as applied to the outbursts of V394 CrA and U Sco
