Abstract The paper presents our recent work on evolution of recurrent solar wind structures in the outer heliosphere. The presentation covers four subjects: Corotating shocks, corotating interaction regions and merged interaction regions. An MHD simulation model in which the jump coditions at all shock crossings satisfy the Rankine-Hugoniot solution. Simulation results which describe the evolution of idealized recurrent solar wind structures between 14 AU and the termination shock. The results show that merged interaction regions belonging to 2 to 4 consecutive solar rotations coalesce with each other between 30 AU and the termination shock to reshape the heliospheric structures. In the outer heliosphere, forward and reverse interplanetary shocks continuously heat the solar wind plasma.
