Abstract: | The interaction of the solar wind with the local interstellar medium (LISM) is attracting renewed interest, thanks to the
possibility that the Voyager spacecraft may, in the not too distant future, cross the heliospheric termination shock. This
has spurred the development of increasingly sophisticated models which attempt to describe various aspects of the physics
underlying the interaction of the solar wind and the LISM. A comprehensive review of the subject is presented here.
