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.
