Lift due to Circulation

Vortex-A steady two dimensional, circular motion of a fluid about
a central axis. This central axis cannot end inside of the fluid. It
must either extend to infinity, extend to a surface of the fluid, or
form a closed curve.
A circular circulation of particles of fluid having the same energy
content and center of rotation.
