It says: 渦流菜斯利迪化
渦 guo 流 liu 菜 cai 斯 si 利 li 迪 di 化 hua
I don't know what it is supposed to mean or why anyone would write that on their arm. Seems to say 'swirling current dish benefits/is good for Dihua'
迪化,dihua seems to be an old name for 乌鲁木齐 wulumuqi or Ürümqi in NW China

菜->莱,化->伦.– user4072May 9, 2017 at 0:39
渦(wo)[wɜː]流(liu)[ljuː] seems also a pronounce of western name, I guess it maybe Will/Willie/Willis/Worley or other name, most like Worley['wɜ:li].
the explanation of 莱斯利 and 迪伦 are quite nice by @Wol
莱斯利：Leslie or Lesley, a western name written in Chinese by its' pronounce. 莱(lái) 斯(sī) 利(lì)
迪伦：Dylan, a western name written in Chinese by its' pronounce. 迪(dí) 伦(lún)
渦流（traditional Chinese）= 涡流（simplified Chinese): eddy current; vortex; vortex flow (via Bing dictionary).
The apparatus finds some technical applications and is known as an "eddy current brake".
这种装置有某些技术上的应用，即众所周知的“涡流制动器。”
via Bing dictionary
莱斯利: Leslie or Lesley, a western name written in Chinese following its pronunciation. 莱(lái) 斯(sī) 利(lì)
迪伦: Dylan, a western name written in Chinese following its pronunciation. 迪(dí) 伦(lún)

Maybe you're right. We don't know the context. I'll edit my answer. thanks.– WolMay 10, 2017 at 0:26
渦流菜斯利迪化
means Chai Ser Li loves Di Lun
The 渦流 alone means vortex
Actually it part of the title of a famous song (1957) by Fang Qing Yin 方靜音 The song is 愛的渦流 "the vortex of love"
