“…To address the shortcomings of both computational and empirical models M. I. Verigin with co‐authors developed a semiempirical approach for modeling different plasma boundaries and regions in space (G. Kotova et al., 2005, 2020; G. A. Kotova et al., 2015, 2020; M. Verigin, 2004; M. Verigin et al., 1997, 2001, 2004; Verigin, Slavin, Szabo, Gombosi, et al., 2003; Verigin, Slavin, Szabo, Kotova, et al., 2003; M. I. Verigin et al., 1997, 1999, 2001, 2004, 2009, 2018). This approach is based on maximum use of exact analytical solutions that describe some characteristic properties of the phenomenon, for example, the asymptotic MHD Mach cone.…”
