Abstract A possibility of description of the properties of plasma flow in the magnetosheath using the INME hydrodynamical model is considered on the basis of a comparison with experimental data. This model is characterized by a high degree of self-consistency and, in particular, makes it possible to determine positions of the boundaries of the magnetosheath (the bow shock and magnetopause) using the interplanetary medium parameters. For two considered passages of the magnetosheath by the Interball-1 satellite, a good quantitative agreement of the measured parameters with the model calculation is obtained.
