Scientific paper

An MHD 2 1/2 D, time-dependent model is used to investigate a series, individually of neighboring interplanetary shock wave interactions in the equatorial plane. For an azimuthal angular separation of 36 degree, between the centers of two disturbances, four different initial velocities, vs = 500, 1000, 2000 and 3000 km/s are considered. The results indicate: for the case of vs = 2000 and 3000 km/s, the two shock waves have already coalesced into a new shock within 1 AU, there are not any two peaks in the velocity, density and temperature. For the case of vs = 1000 km/s, the two shock waves have not completely coalesced into a new shock wave, and the peak of shock parameters of each shock wave can be identified from their distributions; for the case of vs = 500 km/s, the coalescence would almost not occur, in fact, the two shock waves would decayed independently into ordinary MHD waves near 0.3 AU.
