Abstract The paper reviews the studies of collective plasma processes responsible for anomalously fast exchange of energy between the plasma components, for a structure of the boundaries of the characteristic regions in the zone of the comet interaction with the solar wind, and for the anomalous transport across these boundaries. The position and structure of the cometary bow shock are obtained by numerical simulation using the particles in cells method. To study different plasma instabilities in the cometary atmospheres the simple analytic model of the cometary plasma environment is used that is based on the semikinetic description of the solar wind loading by cometary ions. The influence of a self-consistent electric field on the cometary plasma outflow is briefly discussed.
