In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem for the unforced Eulerand Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible flows. We give an example of a smooth initial velocity field of finite energy which is self-accelerating, i.e., the maximal speed increases for some time. The self–acceleration is due to the non–Bernoulli part of the pressure generated by the velocity field
