Turbulence

the smallest length scale of fluctuations of a weakly diffusing scalar in turbulence, which lies below the Kolmogorov scale when the Schmidt number is large.

In turbulence, Batchelor scale refers to the smallest length scale of fluctuations of a weakly diffusing scalar in turbulence, which lies below the Kolmogorov scale when the Schmidt number is large. This meaning comes from Batchelor (1959) in Journal of Fluid Mechanics.[1]
