Abstract

Gaussian measures μ β,ν are associated to some stochastic 2D models of turbulence. They are Gibbs measures constructed by means of an invariant quantity of the system depending on some parameter β (related to the 2D nature of the fluid) and the viscosity ν. We prove the existence and the uniqueness of the global flow for the stochastic viscous system; moreover the measure μ β,ν is invariant for this flow and is the unique invariant measure. Finally, we prove that the deterministic inviscid equation has a μ β,ν-stationary solution (for any ν>0).
