How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T19319157 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

Target entity: Prandtl–Batchelor theorem Context triple: [Ludwig Prandtl, notableFor, Prandtl–Batchelor theorem]
-
A.
Taylor–Proudman theorem
The Taylor–Proudman theorem is a fundamental result in geophysical fluid dynamics stating that in a rapidly rotating, inviscid, incompressible fluid, steady flows tend to be uniform along the axis of rotation, leading to columnar motion.
-
B.
Kolmogorov spectrum of turbulence
The Kolmogorov spectrum of turbulence is a fundamental theory in fluid dynamics that predicts how kinetic energy is distributed across different scales in fully developed turbulent flow, most famously yielding the −5/3 power law for the inertial subrange.
-
C.
The Theory of Homogeneous Turbulence
The Theory of Homogeneous Turbulence is a classic monograph in fluid dynamics that provides a rigorous mathematical treatment of statistically uniform turbulent flows.
-
D.
The Structure of Turbulent Shear Flow
The Structure of Turbulent Shear Flow is a foundational scholarly work in fluid mechanics that analyzes the behavior, organization, and modeling of turbulence in shear flows.
-
E.
Bjerknes circulation theorem (applications in meteorology)
The Bjerknes circulation theorem is a fundamental principle in meteorology that relates changes in atmospheric circulation to forces such as pressure gradients and heating, forming a basis for understanding large-scale weather systems and cyclogenesis.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
