Probably Plasma physics is probably what you want to study. Here's an article about solar plasma jets that can give you an idea of the field:

and this wiki article mentions other related fields like magnetohydrodynamics:

Here's an older book circa 2001 on the subject:

I can't vouch for the book but some other member may have something to say about it.

About 10 years ago, when I worked in the field, the standard books was:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/0935702652/?tag=pfamazon01-20

and maybe it still is, probably a little outdatet... but it is more on fundamentals and less on applications, so I think most of it is still usefull. But it is a tough read.

More introductory is maybe

https://www.amazon.com/dp/1107666910/?tag=pfamazon01-20

I haven't read it, but from browsing its contents on Amazon it looks quite useful.
