Short summary
Despite the solar wind being turbulent in nature, numerical models of its interaction with obstacles have until now assumed it to be laminar. The code \textit{Menura} allows for the global simulation of the interaction between a fully turbulent solar wind and various bodies of the solar system. The code is illustrated by a first example: the interaction between a turbulent solar wind and a comet.
