A 3–manifold which supports a periodic flow is a Seifert fibered space. We define a notion of almost periodic flow and give conditions under which a manifold supporting an almost periodic flow is Seifert fibered. It is well-known that ℝ3 does not support fixed point free periodic flows, and our results include that ℝ3 does not support certain almost periodic flows.
