Scientific paper

Hydrodynamic and MHD formulations across the bow shock along the boundary obstacles to the solar wind flow are investigated. It is proposed that the relation P-psi/OB = P(st)cos-squared-psi+P-infinity-sin-squared-psi is the simplest formulation that satisfies the hydrodynamic requirements both at the stagnation position and in the far downtail region. This also appears to be the only soution for which parameters vary monotonically along the obstacle. Thus at a minimum it should be used for boundaries which are defined by a balance of pressure.
