The entrainment of cometary ions injected into supersonic solar wind flow is investigated through a numerical simulation using a 2.5-dimensional code. A hydrodynamic approximation is applied to electrons, and a kinetic approximation is used for protons and heavy cometary ions; calculations are carried out for an interplanetary magnetic field forming an angle of 20 deg with the velocity vector of solar wind. It is shown that the problem contains several different scales and that ion distribution relaxation is accompanied by the excitation of nonlinear Alfven waves corresponding to the resonance mode. The resulting perturbations may be a source of MHD waves propagating in the magnetospheric cometary tail.
