The Batchelor vortex is a type of idealized vortex flow in fluid dynamics, named after British scientist G.K. Batchelor, who studied various aspects of fluid motion. Specifically, the Batchelor vortex is characterized by a particular velocity profile, which is a function of the radial distance from the center of the vortex.
