Abstract

Upon using the hydrodynamic analog we can derive some families of stationary Beltrami field-like solutions from the free Maxwell equations in vacuum. These stationary electromagnetic fields are helical and/or column-like once they are represented in a suitable frame of reference. Possible dendritic and jelly-fish-like patterns of sprites are demonstrated.
