We derive stationary Beltrami flow fields based on the analogy borrowed from the free Maxwell equations in vacuum. The stationary Beltrami field we obtained is helical and/or ball‐like once it is represented in a suitable frame of reference. Our solutions also illustrate the formation of a ball‐like pattern and the possible splitting (into two).
