Abstract A numerical ray tracing technique is used to study the time evolution of VLF radiation (2–3 kHz Voyager band) trapped in the heliosphere. Simulations include effects of co-rotating and merging interaction regions, heliolatitudinal dependence of solar wind speed and absorption by free-free transitions. The results imply constraints on solar wind dynamics as well as on the size and the tail geometry of the heliosphere.
