Abstract: We completely determine all the unstable modes and neutral modes for the Kolmogorov flow $\left ( \sin \left ( 2{x_2} \right ), 0 \right )$ on the two-dimensional torus $\left [ 0, 2\pi \right ] \times \left [ 0, 2\pi \right ]$ for both the Navier-Stokes equations and the Euler equations. We also give comments on “vorticity generation".
