- Title
Stationary strong magnetohydrodynamic discontinuities and pressure balanced structures in the solar wind stream.

- Abstract
Strong disturbances of magnetic clouds in the solar wind stream are considered when solar MHD shock waves from the surrounding plasma collide with these inhomogeneities. The boundaries of the considered plasma inhomogeneities are presented as stationary tangential discontinuities. The collision of solar fast shock waves with the back and front boundaries is studied as a decomposition of an arbitrary discontinuity. It is asserted that secondary waves of rarefaction and reverse shock waves arise depending on the initial conditions. It is pointed out that a change occurs in the configuration of the plasma inhomogeneity under study, which is caused by the incoming perturbation repeatedly observed by spacecrafts.
