The effect of the AMPTE Li releases in the solar wind on the plasma dynamics and magnetic field structure is studied on the basis of a quasi one-dimensional fluid model, which includes a first-order correction for the lateral flow around the obstacle. The seeding rate and initial velocity of Li ions is calculated from photoionization in a spherically expanding Li cloud. In spite of the expected limited applicability of one-fluid modeling to the problem, the model reproduces the quantitative details of the magnetic field and plasma density variations, as well as the time sequence when the whole structure is swept past the satellites by the solar wind. A qualitative agreement is also found for the velocity profile and shock-like transition where the undisturbed solar wind enters the region influenced by the Li cloud.
