Existence theory for stochastic power law fluids
read the original abstract
We consider the equations of motion for an incompressible Non-Newtonian fluid in a bounded Lipschitz domain $G\subset\mathbb R^d$ during the time intervall $(0,T)$ together with a stochastic perturbation driven by a Brownian motion $W$. The balance of momentum reads as $$dv=\mathrm{div}\, S\,dt-(\nabla v)v\,dt+\nabla\pi \,dt+f\,dt+\Phi(v)\,dW_t,$$ where $v$ is the velocity, $\pi$ the pressure and $f$ an external volume force. We assume the common power law model $S(\varepsilon(v))=\big(1+|\varepsilon(v)|\big)^{p-2} \varepsilon(v)$ and show the existence of weak (martingale) solutions provided $p>\tfrac{2d+2}{d+2}$. Our approach is based on the $L^\infty$-truncation and a harmonic pressure decomposition which are adapted to the stochastic setting.
