Analysis of statistical equilibrium models of geostrophic turbulence.
On étudie l’équation locale de l’énergie pour des solutions faibles des équations d’Euler et Navier-Stokes incompressibles tridimensionnelles. On explicite un terme de dissipation provenant de l’éventuel défaut de régularité de la solution. On donne au passage une preuve simple de la conjecture d’Onsager, améliorant un peu l’hypothèse de [1]. On propose une notion de solution dissipative pour de telles solutions faibles.
We first outline the procedure of averaging the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations when the flow is turbulent for various type of filters. We introduce the turbulence model called Bardina’s model, for which we are able to prove existence and uniqueness of a distributional solution. In order to reconstruct some of the flow frequencies that are underestimated by Bardina’s model, we next introduce the approximate deconvolution model (ADM). We prove existence and uniqueness of a “regular weak solution”...
We study the pathwise regularity of the map φ↦I(φ)=∫0T〈φ(Xt), dXt〉, where φ is a vector function on ℝd belonging to some Banach space V, X is a stochastic process and the integral is some version of a stochastic integral defined via regularization. A continuous version of this map, seen as a random element of the topological dual of V will be called stochastic current. We give sufficient conditions for the current to live in some Sobolev space of distributions and we provide elements to conjecture...
A model of vortex filaments based on stochastic processes is presented. In contrast to previous models based on semimartingales, here processes with fractal properties between and are used, which include fractional Brownian motion and similar non-Gaussian examples. Stochastic integration for these processes is employed to give a meaning to the kinetic energy.
