Аннотация:Recent accumulation of a critical mass of observational material from differentspacecraft complete with the enhanced abilities of numerical methods have led to a boomof studies revealing the high complexity of processes occurring in the heliosphere. Viewson the solar wind filling the interplanetary medium have dramatically developed from thebeginning of the space era. A 2-D picture of the freely expanding solar corona and noninteractingsolar wind structures described as planar or spherically-symmetric objects hasdominated for decades. Meanwhile, the scientific community gradually moved to a modernunderstanding of the importance of the 3-D nature of heliospheric processes and their studiesvia MHD/kinetic simulations, as well as observations of large-scale flows and streams bothin situ and remotely, in white light and/or via interplanetary scintillations. The new 3-Dapproach has provided an opportunity to understand the dynamics of heliospheric structures.
