The problem of the stability of steady flows of a perfect incompressible fluid in vessels of elliptic cross-section is studied. The flow velocity field of the main stream is a linear function of the coordinates and the vorticity is constant. The spectral problem for the linear perturbations is solved using the method of consecutive approximations. The instability of the flows to a first approximation is demonstrated. A special case of the flow in a triaxial ellipsoid is analyzed in detail.
