The paper studies non-vanishing volume preserving vector fields and Reeb vector fields on closed orientable 3-manifolds and relations between them. One of the result states that any simple closed curve on a closed oriented 3-manifold is an attractor for a non-vanishing vector field. Hence such a vector field can not be volume preserving.
