The 3D MHD models of the solar wind — interstellar plasma interaction including, in a self‐consistent way, interactions of various populations of plasma and neutral particles should be ready to confront their results with the forthcoming data that will be obtained from space missions. In the near future, predictions made by sophisticated theoretical models should help refine the goals and optimize the capabilities of the instruments that will explore the far heliosphere and the LISM. In this paper we are giving a short survay of the MHD models and point out the problems, which need to be solved in the near future. As the example we show our recent numerical results with the simple model of the current sheet.
