The Euler equations describe the dynamics of an inviscid and incompressible fluid on a Riemannian manifold. In this context, Arnold's structure theorem marked the birth of the modern field of Topological Hydrodynamics. This theorem provides an almost complete description of the rigid behavior of a solution whose Bernoulli function is analytic or Morse-Bott on a three dimensional manifold. However, only a few examples of such fluids exist in the literature. We will address the inverse problem to Arnold's theorem, proving a realization and topological classification theorem for non-vanishing Eulerisable flows (steady solutions for some metric) with a Morse-Bott Bernoulli function. The proofs combine the geometry of the equations for a varying metric with the theory of Hamiltonian integrable systems. Lastly, we drop the non-vanishing assumption and investigate how the topology of the ambient manifold can be an obstruction to the existence of any Bott integrable fluid for any metric.
