Abstract. A new three-dimensional chaotic flow is proposed in this paper. The system is the simplest chaotic flow that has a line of equilibria. The chaotic attractor of the system is very special with two slow and fast parts. In other words, the dynamic of the system is a combination of slow and fast states. The unique chaotic attractor of the system is investigated. Dynamical properties of the system, such as stability of equilibrium points and bifurcation diagrams, are studied. We believe that such a system with these special properties is proposed for the first time in this paper.
