Abstract
The cross-product of the velocity and the vorticity in a viscous incompressible fluid is formulated and its properties investigated. When the cross-product is identically null, either the flow is vortex-free, or the velocity and the vorticity are parallel to each other. The second case yields the following important result for three-dimensional flows: if the velocity and the vorticity are related by a position-independent scalar function, that function must be time-independent as well.
