We consider the question raised by Enciso and Peralta-Salas in [4] (see arXiv:1402.6825): What nonconstant functions $f$ can occur as the proportionality factor for a Beltrami field $\mathbf{u}$ on an open subset $U \subset \mathbb{R}^3$?…
In this work we study Beltrami fields with non-constant proportionality factor on $\mathbb{R}^3$. More precisely, we analyze the existence of vector fields $X$ satisfying the equations $curl(X)=fX$ and $div(X)=0$ for a given $f\in…
We prove that bounded Beltrami fields must be symmetric if a proportionality factor depends on 2 variables in the cylindrical coordinate and admits a regular level set diffeomorphic to a cylinder or a torus.
We construct traveling wave solutions to the 3d Euler equations by axisymmetric Beltrami fields with a non-constant proportionality factor. They form a vortex ring with nested invariant tori consisting of level sets of the proportionality…
In this paper we show that, with probability 1, a random Beltrami field exhibits chaotic regions that coexist with invariant tori of complicated topologies. The motivation to consider this question, which arises in the study of stationary…
Using open books, we prove the existence of a non-vanishing steady solution to the Euler equations for some metric in every homotopy class of non-vanishing vector fields of any odd dimensional manifold. As a corollary, any such field can be…

We characterise the boundary field line behaviour of Beltrami flows on compact, connected manifolds with vanishing first de Rham cohomology group. Namely we show that except for an at most nowhere dense subset of the boundary, on which the…
Strong Beltrami fields have long played a key role in fluid mechanics and magnetohydrodynamics. In particular, they are the kind of stationary solutions of the Euler equations where one has been able to show the existence of vortex…
This paper considers steady surface waves `riding' a Beltrami flow (a three-dimensional flow with parallel velocity and vorticity fields). It is demonstrated that the hydrodynamic problem can be formulated as two equations for two scalar…
Beltrami fields occur as stationary solutions of the Euler equations of fluid flow and as force free magnetic fields in magnetohydrodynamics. In this paper we discuss the role of Beltrami fields when considered as operators acting on a…
Suppose $[\mu]_{T(\Delta)}$ is a point of the universal Teichm\"uller space $T(\Delta)$. In 1998, it was shown by Bo\v{z}in et al. that there exists $\mu$ such that $\mu$ has non-constant modulus and is uniquely extremal in…
We determine the flow structure in an axisymmetric diffuser or expansion region connecting two cylindrical pipes when the inlet flow is a solid body rotation with a uniform axial flow of speeds Omega and U, respectively. A quasi-cylindrical…
We have explored here the case of three-dimensional non-stationary flows of helical type for the incompressible couple stress fluid with given Bernoulli-function in the whole space (the Cauchy problem). In our presentation, the case of…

A 3-dimensional vector field $B$ is said to be Beltrami vector field (force free-magnetic vector field in physics), if $B\times(\nabla\times B)=0$. Motivated by our investigations on projective an polynomial superflows, and as an important…
