2. (Cartesian System) A supposed collection of particles of
very subtile matter, endowed with a rapid rotary motion
around an axis which was also the axis of a sun or a
planet. Descartes attempted to account for the formation
of the universe, and the movements of the bodies composing
it, by a theory of vortices.
[1913 Webster]

belonging to {Vortex} and allied genera. See Illustration

{Vortex atom} (Chem.), a hypothetical ring-shaped mass of
elementary matter in continuous vortical motion. It was
conveniently regarded in certain early mathematical models
as the typical form and structure of the chemical atom,
but is no longer considered a useful model, having been
superseded by quantum mechanics.
