The heliospheric termination shock is expected to move in response to variation in upstream solar wind conditions. Using numerical techniques, we extend an earlier strictly one-dimensional (planar) analytic gasdynamic model of shock motion [Barnes, 1993] to spherically symmetric [Ratkiewicz et al., 1995], to investigate the qualitative features of global behavior of shock motion. The boundary conditions of the calculation are given by the solar wind parameters as a function of time on an inner spherical boundary, and a constant pressure (roughly simulating the effect of the local interstellar medium) on an outer boundary.
