entrainment
An effect in which the material from the medium through which an astrophysical jet is traveling is pulled into the jet itself. Interstellar gas may be entrained by the jets in active galaxies. Similarly, neutrons in the upper layers of the Sun's atmosphere may be entrained by the solar wind.
