Scientific paper

Three dimensional MHD models for the comet-solar wind interaction are presented. The results are generally in fairly good agreement with those of other authors. A difference from Fedder et al., (1983) is found in the flattening of the ion tail which is the main reason for discrepancies in the simulation of time dependent effects due to discontinuities in the solar wind magnetic field. The models cannot reproduce streamers or tail rays by this mechanism. Instead a tail condensation with a 90 deg switch of the field is found.
