Abstract: We present a new linearly stable solution of the Euler fluid flow on a torus. On a two-dimensional rectangular periodic domain $[0,2pi)imes[0,2pi/kappa)$ for $kappainmathbb{R}^{+}$, the Euler equations admit a family of stationary solutions given by the vorticity profiles $Omeg{a}^{\ast }(mathbfx)=Gammacos(p_1{x}_1+kappa{p}_2{x}_2)$. We show linear stability for such flows when $p_2=0$ and $kappageq|p_1|$ (equivalently $p_1=0$ and $kappa|p_2|leq1$). The classical result due to Arnold is that for $p_1=1,p_2=0$ and $kappage1$ the stationary flow is {nonlinearly} stable via the energy-Casimir method. We show that for $kappage|p_1|ge2,p_2=0$ the flow is linearly stable, but one cannot expect a similar nonlinear stability result. Finally we prove nonlinear instability for all equilibria satisfying $p_1^2+kapp{a}^2{p}_2^2>frac3(kapp{a}^2+1)4(7-4sqrt3)$. The modification and application of a structure-preserving Hamiltonian truncation is discussed for the $kappaeq1$ case. This leads to an explicit Lie-Poisson integrator for the truncated system.
