Abstract
The development of different analytical and approximate numerical methods for calculations of shock-wave propagation in the inhomogeneous interstellar medium is reviewed. The models of ultracompact H II regions, nonspherical supernova remnants, bubbles produced by stellar winds of hot stars, and expanding supershells are discussed on the basis of these calculations.
