Vortex flow
A vortex flow is a rotating mass of fluid called vortex flow—the fluid flow in a curved path.

A vortex flow is a rotating mass of fluid called vortex flow—the fluid flow in a curved path. Vortices are a significant component of turbulent flow. The distribution of velocity, vorticity, and the concept of circulation are used to characterize vortices. In most vortices, the fluid flow velocity is most significantly next to its axis and decreases in inverse proportion to the distance from the axis.
