The three-dimensional motion of an incompressible inviscid fluid is classically described by the Euler equations but can also be seen, following Arnold [1], as a geodesic on a group of volume-preserving maps. Local existence and uniqueness of minimal geodesics have been established by Ebin and Marsden [16]. In the large, for a large class of data, the existence of minimal geodesics may fail, as shown by Shnirelman [26]. For such data, we show that the limits of approximate solutions are solutions of a suitable extension of the Euler equations or, equivalently, are sharp measure-valued solutions to the Euler equations in the sense of DiPerna and Majda [14]. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
