Magnetohydrodynamics

The plasma making up the Sun can be modeled as an MHD system

Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD; also called magnetofluid dynamics or hydro­magnetics) is a model of electrically conducting fluids that treats all types of charged particles together as a single continuous fluid. It is primarily concerned with the low-frequency, large-scale magnetic behavior of plasmas and liquid metals and has applications in multiple fields, including space physics, geophysics, astrophysics, and engineering.
