A newly developed hydrodynamical code based on adaptive mesh refinement technique is presented and applied to simulate the evolution of a supernova remnant in a high-density medium. Advantages of this new approach in comparison to commonly used hydrodynamical methods are briefly discussed.3 pages, latex, uses rmaaconf.sty, 1 Postscript figure, mpeg movies available at http://www.mpa-garching.mpg.de/Hydro/AMR/movies/starbur.html.
