In this article we consider a spectral Galerkin method with a semi‐implicit Euler scheme for the two‐dimensional Navier‐Stokes equations with H 2 or H 1 initial data. The H 2 ‐stability analysis of this spectral Galerkin method shows that for the smooth initial data the semi‐implicit Euler scheme admits a large time step. The L 2 ‐error analysis of the spectral Galerkin method shows that for the smoother initial data the numerical solution u m nexhibits faster convergence on the time interval [0, 1] and retains the same convergence rate on the time interval [1, ∞). © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
