A rapid spiraling motion of air or liquid around a center of rotation.

A whirling mass of air in the form of a column or spiral. It need not be oriented vertically but, for example, could be rotating around a horizontal axis.

1650s, "whirlpool, eddying mass," from Latin vortex, variant of vertex "an eddy of water, wind, or flame; whirlpool; whirlwind," from stem of vertere "to turn" (see versu [..]

column of rotating fluid, such as air (wind) or water.

In its most general use, any flow possessing vorticity. More often the term refers to a flow with closed streamlines or to the idealized case in which all vorticity is concentrated in a vortex filamen [..]

Rotating mass of air or water, such as water going down a plug hole.

An atmospheric feature that tends to rotate. It has vorticity and usually has closed streamlines. Source: NOAA-NWS ERH

A vortex is the spinning flow of any fluid. The motion of the fluid swirling rapidly around a centre is called a vortex. A powerful circular current of water is referred to as a whirlpool.

A spiral motion of fluid within a limited area, especially a whirling mass of water or air that sucks everything near it toward its center.

Whirling motion or mass.

(n) the shape of something rotating rapidly(n) a powerful circular current of water (usually the result of conflicting tides)

That form of movement of a mass of fluid having a whirling or circular motion that tends to form a cavity or vacuum at the center of a circle.

Any circular or rotary flow in the atmosphere that possesses vorticity.

A location hikers get sucked in to and have a hard time leaving, like fun towns or trail angel houses.

A revolving mass of water which forms a whirlpool. This whirlpool is caused by water flowing out of a small opening in the bottom of a basin or reservoir. A funnelshaped opening is created downward fr [..]

A mass of fluid rotating about an axis, i.e., whirlpool or whirlwind.

A spiral motion of fluid within a limited area, especially a whirling mass of water or air that sucks everything near it toward its center.

In its most general use, any flow possessing vorticity. More often the term refers to a flow with closed streamlines.

Cyclonic flow in a relative small area.

In meteorology, any rotary flow in the atmosphere.

In them most simplest of terms a vortex is your wakeup mixup game. Basically after landing an untechable knockdown you have a number of options available to you, when your opponent 'wakes up' you use these options to put your opponent into a guessing game whereby they guess what your next attack will be, how they should block, etc. More t [..]

An untechable knockdown that gives you many options to mix up your opponent. One of the best examples of this was Akuma in SF4. After a untechable knockdown, as Akuma you could go for a jumping MK fro [..]

A style of play in which, after knocking the opponent down, you make them guess what you are going to do (and how they should block/react) and they are more likely to guess wrong than right. Also see: Mixup, Untechable Knockdown.

A whirling mass of air in the form of a column or spiral. It need not be oriented vertically but, for example, could be rotating around a horizontal axis.

An area of revolving compressed air. Turbulent air is that way built up of a combination of small vortices. The most obvious examples are the vortices that are visible coming off the sides of a rear w [..]

Is a spinning, often turnulent flow (or any spiral motion) with closed streamlines.
