Abstract

We use the balance relations for the stationary in time solutions of the randomly forced 2D Navier-Stokes equations, found in [10], to study these solutions further. We show that the vorticity ξ(t,x) of a stationary solution has a finite exponential moment, and that for any \(a\in{\mathbb R},\,t\geq 0\) the expectation of the integral of \(|\nabla_x\xi|\) over the level-set \(\{x\mid\xi(t,x)=a\}\), up to a constant factor equals the expectation of the integral of \(|\nabla_x\xi|^{-1}\) over the same set.
