I feel I should be able to work this one out for myself, but the right word just does not come. Can anyone help with the most appropriate technical term for "investire" in the following phrase from a report on hydrodynamic modelling: "Il coefficiente di drag fornisce una misura della resistenza idrodinamica di un corpo **investito** da una corrente". Thanks, Sarah.

Note from asker:
| Thanks, but I don't think I can use "flow through" in this case as the caisson model is a solid shape. Also I would have problems with this other occurrence: "V [m/s] è la velocità del flusso che **investe** il cassone. |

I think that you need to take into consideration that you're talking about a tridimensional object (therefore provided of multiple surfaces). Anyway, wait for other colleagues' suggestion. Among yours maybe impact is the more suitable one, but I'm not sure...

Note from asker:
| Many thanks for this very thorough answer, but unfortunately my problem remains, because in this case the caisson is stationary (bolted to the bottom of the test tank) and it is the fluid which is moving and "impacting/colliding/striking" (all words which have come to mind but which don't convince me) against the various faces of the model. |
