Details
The Arnold–Beltrami–Childress
[Haller]
flow is an incompressible three dimensional flow which is an exact solution to the Euler's equation. Its equation in cartesian coordinates is as follows:
$v(x,y,z)= \begin{pmatrix}A*\sin(z) + C*\cos(y)\\ B*\sin(x) + A*\cos(z)\\ C*\sin(y) + B*\cos(x)\end{pmatrix} $
