Scientific paper

The Newtonian approximation has been used to model the geometry of a pressure equilibrium surface between two counterflowing magnetized plasmas. Two-dimensional solutions are presented for the quadratic first-order partial differential equation for the heliopause distance which describes the geometrical configuration of the three-dimensional boundary surface. The heliopause geometry is studied for a series of cases involving interstellar parameters covering the range from low to high Alfvenic Mach number flows. If inclined magnetic fields of nonnegligible magnitude are considered, it is shown that the nose of the heliopause is tilted with respect to the local ISM flow vector.
