> maybe it suffices to model the whole thing as a gas
What are you basing this on? Plasmas don't flow like gases even absent a magnetic field. They're self interacting, even in supersonic modes. This is like saying you can just model gases like liquids when trying to describe a plane--they're different states of matter.
