In this paper, it is shown that the theory of perturbed generalised Hamiltonian systems provides an effective method for understanding the description of flow patterns of some three-dimensional flows. Firstly, theorems for the persistence of periodic solutions of three-dimensional generalised Hamiltonian systems under perturbation are given by developing Melnikov's method. Then, three different systems of three-dimensional steady fluid flows are discussed and the existence or non-existence of periodic solutions of these systems is proved.

This paper is concerned with analyzing Melnikov’s method in terms of the flow generated by a vector field in contrast to the approach based on the Poincare map and giving a physical interpretation of the method. It is shown that the direct implication of a transverse crossing between the stable and unstable manifolds to a saddle point of the Poincare map is the existence of two distinct preserved homoclinic orbits of the continuous time system. The stability of these orbits and their role in the phenomenon of sensitive dependence on initial conditions is discussed and a physical example is given.
