Whang's unsteady, one-dimensional, one-fluid MHD model is used to carry out a simulation study of the evolution of the solar wind based on two shock events over a distance of the order of 10 AU in the outer heliosphere. The study is based on the observation of two events, each observed by two or more spacecraft. The results show that the shock process, including the formation, collision, and merging of shocks, dominates the dynamical evolution of large-scale solar wind structures. In the outer heliosphere, the large-scale solar wind and magnetic field evolve into a much simpler structure, and MHD shocks are present as a principal component of the solar wind. The simulation results shed new light on the interaction and evolution of large interplanetary streams.
