contents We prove that the correspondence between Reeb and Beltrami vector fields can be made equivariant whenever additional symmetries of the underlying geometric structures are considered. As a corollary of this correspondence, we show that energy levels above the maximum of the potential energy of mechanical Hamiltonian systems can be viewed as stationary fluid flows, though the metric is not prescribed. In particular, we showcase the emblematic example of the $n$-body problem and focus on the Kepler problem. We explicitly construct a compatible Riemannian metric that makes the Kepler problem of celestial mechanics a stationary fluid flow (of Beltrami type) on a suitable manifold, the Kepler-Euler flow.
