Presented are several results on the formation of singularities in solutions to the three-dimensional Euler equations for a polytropic, ideal fluid under various assumptions on the initial data. In particular, it is shown that a localized fluid which is initially compressed and outgoing, on average, will develop singularities regardless of the size of the initial disturbance.
