Popis: We study the integrability of an eight-parameter family of three-dimensional spherically confined steady Stokes flows introduced by Bajer and Moffatt. This volume-preserving flow was constructed to model the stretch–twist–fold mechanism of the fast dynamo magnetohydrodynamical model. In particular we obtain a complete classification of cases when the system admits an additional Darboux polynomial of degree one. All but one such case are integrable, and first integrals are presented in the paper. The case when the system admits an additional Darboux polynomial of degree one but is not evidently integrable is investigated by methods of differential Galois theory. It is proved that the four-parameter family contained in this case is not integrable in the Jacobi sense, i.e. it does not admit a meromorphic first integral. Moreover, we investigate the integrability of other four-parameter $${\textit{STF}}$$STF systems using the same methods. We distinguish all the cases when the system satisfies necessary conditions for integrability obtained from an analysis of the differential Galois group of variational equations.
