On a probabilistic description of small scale structures in 3D fluids
On the motion of a body in thermal equilibrium immersed in a perfect gas
We consider a body immersed in a perfect gas and moving under the action of a constant force. Body and gas are in thermal equilibrium. We assume a stochastic interaction body/medium: when a particle of the medium hits the body, it is absorbed and immediately re-emitted with a Maxwellian distribution. This system gives rise to a microscopic model of friction. We study the approach of the body velocity V(t) to the limiting velocity and prove that, under suitable smallness assumptions, the approach...
On the regularity of stochastic currents, fractional brownian motion and applications to a turbulence model
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...
