Abstract It is demonstrated that observations of classical novae imply that a common envelope phase is an inevitable stage in the development of the nova outburst and that this phase is probably very important in inducing mass loss. A two-dimensional numerical calculation shows that rapid mass loss is indeed obtained. The ejected mass is found to be concentrated toward the orbital plane. The implications of the results for the shaping of nova shells are discussed.
