Vortex theory. (chem. & physics)

Defn: the theory, advanced by thomson (lord kelvin) on the basis of Investigation by helmholtz, that the atoms are vortically moving Ring-shaped masses (or masses of other forms having a similar Internal motion) of a homogeneous, incompressible, frictionless Fluid. Various properties of such atoms (vortex atoms) can be Mathematically deduced.
