/ Abstract
We introduce a rotation invariant short distance cut-off in the theory of an ideal fluid in three space dimensions, by requiring momenta to take values in a sphere. This leads to an algebra of functions in position space is non-commutative. Nevertheless it is possible to find appropriate analogues of the Euler equations of an ideal fluid. The system still has a hamiltonian structure. It is hoped that this will be useful in the study of possible singularities in the evolution of Euler (or Navier-Stokes) equations in three dimensions.
