Abstract: In this paper we construct smooth initial data to the Euler and gSQG equations that are concentrated near unstable stationary configurations of point-vortices. We prove that those solutions are themselves unstable, in the sense that their localization radius grows from order $varepsilon$ to order $$ (with $$) in a time of order $|lnvarepsilon|$. This proves in particular that the logarithmic lower-bound obtained in previous papers (in particular [P. Butt`a and C. Marchioro, Long time evolution of concentrated Euler flows with planar symmetry, SIAM J. Math. Anal., 50(1):735-760, 2018]) about vorticity localization in Euler and gSQG equations is optimal. In addition we construct unstable solutions of the Euler equations in bounded domains concentrated around a single point. To achieve this we construct a domain whose Robin's function has a saddle point.
