The effect of adding a By magnetic component to a solar wind already carrying a Bz magnetic component is studied using three-dimensional MHD computer simulations. It is found that the tail structure and the Bx lobe fields are rotated and become asymmetric. In addition, a By component is generated in the neutral sheet. These results are found to correlate with observational data.
