Results from the gas-dynamic model of Breus et al. (1992, BKM) of solar wind interaction with Venus are compared with those from hybrid models. Contradictions between the hybrid model of Moor et al. (1991, MTM) and the BKM model are demonstrated. They can be explained by too large computational grid cells used in the MTM model. For the same reason, in the MTM model the effect of a magnetic barrier on the bowshock standoff distance is overestimated, as was shown in the hybrid model of Brecht and Ferrante (1991). The effect of the solar wind mass-loading phenomenon on the bowshock location, taken into account in the BKM model, makes it possible to simulate the location of the bowshock observed by the Pioneer-Venus spacecraft.
