Let $\mathbb {D}\subset \mathbb {C}$ be the unit disk and let $\gamma_{1},\gamma _{2}:[0,T]\to\overline{\mathbb {D}}\setminus\{0\}$ be parametrizations of two slits $\Gamma_{1}:=\gamma(0,T], \Gamma_{2}:=\gamma_{2}(0,T]$ such that $\Gamma_{1}$ and $\Gamma_{2}$ are disjoint.

In this paper, we prove that the ODE system, $ \dot{x}=sinz+cosy$ $ \dot{y}=sinx+cosz$ $ \dot{z}=siny+cosx$ whose right-hand side is the Arnold-Beltrami-Childress (ABC) flow with parameters A = B = C = 1, has periodic orbits on $(2 \pi T)^3$ with rotation vectors parallel to (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), and (0, 0, 1). An application of this result is that the well-known G-equation model for turbulent combustion with this ABC flow on $R^3$ has a linear (i.e., maximal possible) flame speed enhancement rate as the amplitude of the flow grows.
