A fully three Dimensional (3D), time dependent, Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) Interplanetary Global Model (3D IGM) is used to investigate the effect of a flat Heliospheric Current Sheet (HCS) on the propagation of solar flare generated shock waves and the structures behind them. Velocity profiles in the meridional plane are discussed; these profiles suggest the presence of a complex sequence of products following the fast, forward interplanetary shocks' interaction with HCS. A fast rarefaction wave may be one of the products of this interaction process. This wave may move, antisunward, faster than the shock itself, thereby explaining the signal's earlier arrival at the observer's position when compared with signals arriving from higher latitude flares. The analysis procedure is summarized, results are given, and concluding remarks are presented.
