Cambridge University Press and the Journal of Fluid Mechanics are delighted to announce the launch of The Batchelor Prize, sponsored by the Journal of Fluid Mechanics, to be awarded in recognition of outstanding research in fluid mechanics.

The Batchelor Prize is an award initially of US$25,000 to be presented at the International Congress of Theoretical and Applied Mathematics (ICTAM), taking place in Adelaide in August 2008. The recipient of the prize will deliver a lecture at ICTAM and this will also be published in Journal of Fluid Mechanics and be made freely available on the Cambridge Journals website.
