Abstract

We present a steady Euler flow on the round 3-sphere whose velocity vector field has the property of having two independent first integrals, being tangent to the fibres of an almost submersion onto the 2-sphere. This submersion turns out to be a critical point for the quartic Faddeev-Skyrme model with a standard potential.
