German: Strömungsabriss
Some technical terms are really, really hard to find. Flow separation, apparently.

bis, ter, quater, quinquies
Italian: bis, ter, quater, quinquies
Italian legal documents use a lot of Latin, but I've seen this numbering on occasion in German and French as well. Essentially, these are 'b', 'c', 'd', and 'e' - or they could just as well be rendered 'a', 'b', 'c', and 'd', since they start with bis, which is 2.
I've read that they're often used as a subnumbering scheme in situations (such as figures, or documents submitted in evidence) when there is already numbering and new items need to be inserted between two existing numbers. For example, we have Figure 2 and Figure 3, and we insert a figure between them - in this case, this system would call it Figure 2bis.
I've translated this as e.g. 2a, and so far nobody's complained.
