Italian term or phrase: vena fluida
Il profilo alare della pala eolica determina una velocità differente della vena fluida che lambisce la superficie superiore rispetto alla velocità della vena fluida che scorre lungo la superficie inferiore.

and again:
Prendendo inoltre come riferimento la potenza disponibile specifica P = 210 W/m2 della vena fluida relativa alla velocità v = 7 m/s è possibile determinare l'area ed il diametro di tale vena fluida per diversi valori di potenza disponibile:


Here is a definitionof vena fluida found in google: insieme dei filletti fluidi che scorrono in un tubo di flusso (tubo di flusso: superficie cilindrica che delimita una massa d'aria in movimento).
