A hierarchy of particle-like solutions, called jetlets, for a regularized model of ideal incompressible fluid systems is derived as motion on the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms. Internal group variables of the particles correspond to the different levels of the hierarchy. They are parametrized by a finite-dimensional model of a diffeomorphism group, the so-called jet group, which are the basis of certain representation theories. An explicit Hamiltonian description of the full jet hierarchy of particle-like solutions is given. A nested sequence of conserved quantities is computed, which is related to the conservation of circulation and which is also corresponding to each level in the hierarchy. Numerical computations of particle-like solutions at the first two levels in the hierarchy show a cascade in which interactions of solutions tend asymptotically towards solutions at the next higher level. It is shown that jetlet models admit a weak dual pair at each level of the hierarchy and that they do satisfy canonical Hamiltonian equations. Special attention is given to the conservation of the momentum map. Kelvin's circulation theorem is discussed in detail and the explicit dynamical behavior of the particle model including collisions is studied. Finally, an algebraic interpretation of mergers in the jetlet hierarchy is proposed. Furthermore some numerical illustrations are presented.
