Exercise 1.





The ABC (Arnold-Beltrami-Childress) flow is defined as,


\begin{displaymath}\left( \begin{array}{c}u \\ v \\ w \end{array} \right)=
\lef...
... B \sin x + A \cos z \\ C\sin y + B \cos x \end{array} \right)
\end{displaymath} (1)

Show that the ABC flow is a static solution to the Euler equation and find the pressure field.

The Euler equation is the Navier-Stokes equation without viscosity,


\begin{displaymath}\partial_t {\bf u} + {\bf u}\cdot \nabla {\bf u} = - \nabla p
\end{displaymath} (2)
