airflow
Circulation of breath
Airflow is the movement of air through or past something.
The term appears in discussions of ventilation, aerodynamics, and respiratory function: The building's airflow was inadequate, Airflow over the wing creates lift.
In computing, Apache Airflow is a platform for scheduling and monitoring workflows.
