Non-unique ergodicity for 3D Navier--Stokes and Euler equations (Online)

Abstract

We establish existence of infinitely many stationary solutions as well as  ergodic stationary solutions to the three dimensional Navier--Stokes and Euler equations in the deterministic as well as stochastic setting, driven by an additive noise. The solutions belong to the regularity class $C(\mathbb{R};H^{\vartheta})\cap C^{\vartheta}(\mathbb{R};L^{2})$ for some $\vartheta>0$ and satisfy the equations in an analytically weak sense. Moreover, we are able to make conclusions regarding the vanishing viscosity limit. The result is based on a new stochastic version of the convex integration method which provides uniform moment bounds locally in the aforementioned function spaces.
