Abstract: In this work we deal with the selection problem of flows of an irregular vector field. We first summarize an example from cite{CCS} of a vector field $b$ and a smooth approximation $b_{e}psilon$ for which the sequence $X^{e}psilon$ of flows of $b_{e}psilon$ has subsequences converging to different flows of the limit vector field $b$. Furthermore, we give some heuristic ideas on the selection of a subclass of flows in our specific case.
