It is not unreasonable to expect that in the not too distant future observational evidence of the termination of the heliosphere will be provided by the Pioneer and Voyager space missions. In order to predict the location and shape of the terminating solar wind shock and heliopause as well as the local magnetic and plasma properties associated with these structures several hydrodynamic and magnetohydrodynamic models were constructed. An account of them is given including: (1) models assuming the solar wind in the heliospheric boundary layer is incompressible, (2) models with a compressible solar wind in the heliosheath, (3) models without the boundary layer structure, but giving the possible shape and location of the inner shock and/or the heliopause. Consequences of these assumptions are discussed in detail.
