Abstract
The stability of two eigen states of double tearing mode (DTM) with symmetric or antisymmetric islands in the presence of shear flows is numerically simulated based on a reduced MHD model in slab geometry. For given antisymmetric flow profile, a degenerated state is observed at a critical flow amplitude vc. Below vc, the shear flow stabilizes the DTM with antisymmetric islands and destabilizes the other one through distorting the magnetic flux mainly governed by the global effect of flow profile. Above vc, the degenerated state bifurcates into two eigen states with the same growth rate but opposed propagating direction. These two eigen modes show
