Batchelor (George Batchelor)

George Batchelor was a renowned fluid dynamicist whose work helped us understand how fluids—like water and air—move and behave. Specifically, he studied turbulence, which is the chaotic, swirling motion in fluids that affects weather patterns, airplane design, and ocean currents. His research provided insights into the fundamental principles governing fluid flow, improving our ability to predict and model complex natural and engineering systems. Batchelor’s contributions laid the groundwork for many modern applications in science and engineering related to fluid behavior.
