The paper presents recent work on evolution of recurrent solar wind structures in the outer heliosphere. Corotating shocks, corotating interaction regions, and merged interaction regions are studied, and an MHD simulation model in which the jump conditions at all shock crossings satisfy the Rankine-Hugoniot solution is examined. Simulation results which describe the evolution of idealized recurrent solar wind structures between 14 AU and the termination shock are reported which show that merged interaction regions belonging to two to four 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 which continuously heat the solar wind plasma are investigated.
