1. Introduction: the Euler system of equations.
In accordance with [1-3], the Euler system of equations for incompressible flow of
inviscid fluid should be presented in the Cartesian coordinates as below (under the
proper initial conditions):
u 0 , 1.1
u p
(u ) u F, 1.2
t
- where u is the flow velocity, a vector field; ρ is the fluid density, p is the pressure, F
represents external force (per unit of mass in a volume) acting on the fluid; besides, we
assume external force F above to be the central force, which has a potential
represented by F = - .
Using the identity (u∇)u = (1/2)∇(u2) – u×(∇×u), we could present the Euler equations
in the case of incompressible flow of inviscid fluid u = {u₁, u₂, u₃} as below [4-5]:
u 0 ,
( 2.1)
u 1 p
u (u 2 )
t 2
- here we denote the curl field = u, a pseudovector field (time-dependent) [6]:
u u u1 u 3 u 2 u1
, y , z 3 2 , , (2.2)
y z z x x y
x
2
- also we denote = {fx, fy, fz} in (2.1); besides, let us choose = 1 for simplicity.
Let us search for solutions {u, p} of the system (2.1) in a form below:
- then we should obtain from (2.1) and expression (2.2) the proper system of PDE:
u1 1
(u 2 z u 3 y ) (u 1 u 2 u 3 ) p fx ,
2 2 2
t 2 x x
u2 1
(u 3 x u 1 z ) (u 1 u 2 u 3 )
2 2 2
p fy , 3.2
t 2 y y
u3 1
(u 1 y u 2 x ) (u 1 u 2 u 3 ) p fz ,
2 2 2
t 2 z z
Besides, there exists the proper restriction from continuity equation (1.1) as below
(u/x ≠ 0):
u v w
U (t ) V (t ) W (t ) 0,
x y z
(3.3)
v u w u
, , {, } const
y x z x
3
The system of equations (3.2) should be transformed under conditions (3.1) as below:
v u u w
V (t ) v ( x, y, z ) V (t ) U (t ) W (t ) w( x, y , z ) U (t ) W (t )
d U (t ) x y z x
dt u ( x, y , z )
P(t ) p( x, y, z ) f x
1 x (U (t ) u ( x, y, z ) V (t ) v ( x, y, z ) W (t ) w ( x, y, z ))
2 2 2 2 2 2

w v v u
W (t ) w( x, y , z ) W (t ) V (t ) U (t ) u( x, y, z ) V (t ) U (t )
y z x y
d V (t ) 3.4
dt v ( x, y , z )
P(t ) p( x, y, z ) f y
1 y (U (t ) u ( x, y, z ) V (t ) v ( x, y , z ) W (t ) w ( x, y , z ))
2 2 2 2 2 2

2 v ( x, y , z ) v ( x, y , z )
u w w v

d W (t ) z x y z

(U ( t ) 2
u 2

( t ) w 2
( x , y , z )) P(t ) p( x, y , z ) f z
1 z z
,
2 w( x, y, z ) w( x, y, z )
- thus, from the 1-st of Eqs. (3.4) we should assume ({ai} = const, i =1,…,9):
v u u w
v ( x, y , z ) v ( x, y , z ) w( x, y, z ) w( x, y, z )
x y z x
a1, a2, a 3, a4,
u ( x, y , z ) u( x, y , z ) u ( x, y , z ) u( x, y , z )
2 2 2
(u ( x, y, z )) (v ( x, y, z )) ( w ( x, y, z ))
1 x 1 x 1 x

p ( x, y , z )

u( x, y , z ) u( x, y , z )

- but the 2-nd of Eqs. (3.4) yields as below ({bi} = const, i =1,…,9):
w v v u
w( x , y , z ) w( x , y , z ) u ( x, y , z ) u( x, y , z )

As for the structure of space part of exact solution (3.1), the system of equations (3.5)-
(3.7) could be solved by the proper analytical way as below:

So, the space part of the solution should be presented as below:

- the space part of the solution should be presented as below ( a3b3 = a3b3 ):

5. Time-dependent part of exact solution.
As for the structure of time-dependent part of exact solution (3.1) with space part (4.6),
it could be obtained from system of Eqs. (3.4) which should be transformed as below:
d U (t )
d t V (t ) U (t ) a 2 W (t ) U (t ) a 3 U (t ) a 5 P (t ) a 8 a 9 ,
2
d V (t )
W (t ) V (t ) b 2 U (t ) V (t ) b 3 V 2 (t ) b 6 P (t ) b 8 b 9 , (5.1)
dt
d W (t ) U (t ) W (t ) c V (t ) W (t ) c W 2 (t ) c P (t ) c c ,
d t 2 3 7 8 9
u v w
U (t ) V (t ) W (t ) 0 , U (t ) b 3 V (t ) b 6 W (t ) a 3 0 ,
x y z
- so, we have 4 equations for the obtaining of 4 functions U(t), V(t), W(t), P(t).
Along with the invariant from the continuity equation (besides, a9b3 + b9b6 + c9a3 = 0)
d U (t ) b 3 V (t ) b 6 W (t ) a 3
0,
dt
- a system of Eqs. (5.1) immediately yields the invariant for function P(t) as below
P(t ) a 8 b 3 b8 b 6 c 8 a 3 [V (t ) U (t ) a 2 W (t ) U (t ) a 3 U (t ) 2 a 5 ] b 3
(5.2)
[W (t ) V (t ) b 2 U (t ) V (t ) b 3 V 2 (t ) b 6 ] b 6 [U (t ) W (t ) c 2 V (t ) W (t ) c 3 W 2 (t ) c 7 ] a 3 ,
8
- thus, we should exclude expression (5.2) for function P(t) from the analysis of
equations of system (5.1) and also we should exclude the continuity equation, which
means that one of 3 functions U(t), V(t), W(t) is the linear combination of two others:
b3 b6
W (t ) U (t ) V (t ) (5.3)
a3 a3
So, analyzing the system (5.1), we finally should obtain the system of 2 ordinary
differential equations of the 1-st order for any 2 of 3 functions U(t), V(t), W(t) (the last
3-rd function could be obtained by expressing it from the continuity equation above).
- the 1-st and 2-nd equations of system (5.1) could be transformed as presented below:
b b
d U (t ) V (t ) U (t ) b 3 2 6 c 3 2 b 6 b 6 ( c 2 b 3 )
dt a3
b2 b6
U (t ) 2 b 3 ( c 2 b 3 ) V 2 (t ) b 6 c 3 2b 6 ,

V 2 (t ) b 6 1 b 6 b 8 c 3 2 b 6 U 2 (t ) b 3 b 8 ( c 2 b 3 ) ,
a3 a

9
- where a2 = b6, see (4.4). Besides, if we additionally choose b2 = a3, system (5.5) above
could be reduced to the simplified regular form below:
d U (t )
b8 U (t ) C U (t ) b 3 (c 3 b 6 ) b 6 (c 2 b 3 )
dt
2
U (t ) b 3 (c 2 b 3 ) b8 U (t ) C b 6 (c 3 b 6 ) ,
2
(5.6)
d V (t ) d U (t )
b8 V (t ) b8 U (t ) C , C const,
dt dt
- where the 1-st equation of system (5.6) has a proper solution below (b8 = b3b6):
d U (t )
dt, (5.7)
( A U (t ) B U (t ) D )
2
A b8 b 3 (c 3 b 6 ) b8 b 6 (c 2 b 3 ) b 3 ( c 2 b 3 ) (b8 ) 2 b 6 (c 3 b 6 )
B C b 3 (c 3 b 6 ) b 6 (c 2 b 3 ) 2b8 b 6 (c 3 b 6 ) , D C 2 b 6 (c 3 b 6 )
The left side of expression (5.7) could be transformed to the proper elliptical integral
[10] in regard to function U(t):
2 2 A U (t ) B

d U (t )
( A U 2 (t ) B U (t ) D )

6. Discussion.
In fluid mechanics, a lot of authors have been executing their researches to obtain the
analytical solutions of Euler and Navier-Stokes equations [11], even for 3D case of
10
compressible gas flow [12]. But there is an essential deficiency of non-stationary
solutions indeed.
Our presentation (3.1) of the non-stationary solutions of 3D Euler equations (1.1)-(1.2)
for incompressible flow is considered here. The spatial part of such a solution is
determined by equalities (4.4), under the given initial conditions; but the time-
dependent part is determined by Eqs. (5.1)-(5.3).
Besides, the real example of exact solution is obtained. The spatial part of such a
solution is presented by the equalities (4.5)-(4.6), but the time-dependent part is
presented by equalities (5.2)-(5.3), (5.4)-(5.8).
Also, we should especially note that the components of flow velocity (4.6) of the
solution (3.1) will be uniformly increasing when (x, y, z) → ∞. So, such a solution
should be defined within the limited domain of the meanings of variables (x, y, z), it
should be given by the initial conditions.
The explicit solutions for U(t) can easily be obtained from Eqs. (5.7) and (5.6),
therefore, the explicit form of the special solutions (3.1) should be provided:
- where

For example, if we choose c3 =b6 (C 0) it should simplify the expression for U(t):

Fig.4. A schematic plot of the function ~ (x-y+10)*{tanh(-t) - 1},
here we designate: x (-1, 1), t = y (0, 1).
We assume at Fig.1-5 that in the expressions (x-y-10), (x-y+1), (x-y+10), (x-y+30) set of
meanings {-10, 1, 10, 30} is varying according to the varying of the range of variable z;
besides, the factor {tanh(-t) - 1} could be schematically presented (for imagination of
the plots of solutions) by the changing of parameter t to variable y, for example.
14
Fig.6. A schematic plot of the function ~ (x-y-10)*{tan(t) - 1},
here we designate: x (-1, 1), t = y (0, 1).
15
Also, we should note that since some solutions are unbounded (see for instance Eq.
(5.8) for >0), such a solution should be defined within the limited range of the
meanings of time-parameter t (it should be given by the initial conditions).
Besides, we should additionally note that the only periodic (and unbounded) solutions
are the ones given by U(t) for > 0, since the hyperbolic tangent is a non periodic but
bounded function.
