baffle se uvek navodi kao sastavni deo rezervoara i hidrauličnih sistema. Nije teško pronaći reference na pretraživaču.
Npr, pitanje What is the function of a baffle in a hydraulic reservoir?
odgovor The baffle helps to hinder the motion of waves and splashing which also helps to keep air from getting within the hydraulic system.

Šikana se takođe uvek navodi kao element u rezervoaru. Nisam pronašla nigde objašnjenje šta je to - podrazumeva se da ako čitaš proračun za količinu betona znaš i šta je šikana. Prema poreklu reči iz francuskog zaključila bih da je to element u rezervoaru koji služi istoj stvari kao i baffle, da "spreči, omete ili šikanira" vodu da nešto uradi.

Chicane

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicane

A chicane is an artificial feature creating extra turns in a road, used in motor racing and on streets to slow traffic for safety. For example, one form of chicane is a short, shallow S-shaped turn, requiring the driver to turn slightly left and then right again to stay on the road, which slows them down.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Daryo : possibly the right term, but the reference has nothing to do with this ST - it’s not about roads but water reservoirs
