A family of balance relations for the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations with random forcing

S B Kuksin and O Penrose


Abstract

For the 2D Navier-Stokes equation perturbed by a random force of a suitable kind we show that, if $g(\cdot)$ is an arbitrary real continuous function with (at most) polynomial growth, then the vorticity field $\omega(t,\bx)$ satisfies $$ \E\big(g(\omega(t,\bx))|\nabla\omega(t,\bx)|^2\big){=} \half M_1\E (g(\omega(t,\bx))), $$ where $M_1$ is a number, \sps independent of $g$, which measures the strength of the random forcing.
