Mathematical modelling of meteoroid streams formation and evolution is a very fruitfull method for obtaining not only cosmogonical knowledges, but information about the stream up-to-date structure as well. In this review we consider advances of the method, and applications to meteoroid streams of different schemes of formation. We also discuss the part played by observations, and feedback between models and observations. Attention is also drawn to some unresolved problems and promising areas of application.
