A. W. Batchelor

A. W. Batchelor (1923–2000) was a prominent British mathematician known for his work in applied mathematics, particularly in fluid mechanics and wave theory. He contributed to understanding how fluids move and behave, which has applications in engineering, meteorology, and oceanography. Batchelor’s research helped explain phenomena like turbulence and the patterns of waves on water surfaces. His influential books and papers provided insight into complex fluid behaviors, making significant impacts in both academic and practical fields related to physics and engineering.
