Abstract In this paper we study the Navier-Stokes flow on the two-dimensional torusS 1 ×S 1 excited by the external force (k 2 sinky, 0) and find the long-time behavior for the flow starting from some states, whereS 1=[0,2π](mod 2π). Especially for the casek=2, it follows from an analysis and computation that the Navier-Stokes flow with the initial state cos(mx+ny) or sin(mx+ny) will likely evolve through at most one step bifurcation to either a steady-state solution or a time-dependent periodic solution for any Reynolds number and integersm andn.
