Multidimensional potential Burgers turbulence

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider the multidimensional generalised stochastic Burgers equation in the space-periodic setting: partialmathbfu/partialt+ (ablaf(mathbfu)cdotabla) mathbfu−uDeltamathbfu= ablaeta,quadtgeq0,mathbfxinmathbbTd=(mathbbR/mathbbZ)d, under the assumption that mathbfu is a gradient. Here f is strongly convex and satisfies a growth condition, u is small and positive, while eta is a random forcing term, smooth in space and white in time. For solutions mathbfu of this equation, we study Sobolev norms of mathbfu averaged in time and in ensemble: each of these norms behaves as a given negative power of u. These results yield sharp upper and lower bounds for natural analogues of quantities characterising the hydrodynamical turbulence, namely the averages of the increments and of the energy spectrum. These quantities behave as a power of the norm of the relevant parameter, which is respectively the separation mathbfl in the physical space and the wavenumber mathbfk in the Fourier space. Our bounds do not depend on the initial condition and hold uniformly in u. We generalise the results obtained for the one-dimensional case in cite{BorW}, confirming the physical predictions in cite{BK07,GMN10}. Note that the form of the estimates does not depend on the dimension: the powers of u,|mathbfk|,mathbfl are the same in the one- and the multi-dimensional setting.


A multidimensional generalized stochastic Burgers equation \[ \mathbf u_t+(\nabla f(\mathbf u)\cdot\nabla)\mathbf u-\nu\Delta\mathbf u=\nabla\dot w \] is considered on the torus \(\mathbb T^d\), where the solution \(\mathbf u\) is sought in the form \(\mathbf u=\nabla\psi\), where \(\psi\) satisfies \[ d\psi+f(\nabla\psi)\,dt-\nu\Delta\psi\,dt=dw. \] Here, \(w\) is a Wiener process with a colored spatial covariance, \(f\) is a strongly convex function that satisfies a certain growth condition and \(\nu\) is a small positive number. The author proves a lot of estimates and asymptotics for the solutions \(\psi\) and \(\mathbf u\), e.g., estimates and asymptotics of various forms (upper, lower, maximal, integral) for Sobolev norms of \(\psi\) and \(\mathbf u\) as well as estimates and asymptotics for averaged increments (including directional and longitudinal) of \(\psi\) and \(\mathbf u\). Finally, the unique stationary measure for the latter equation above is studied and a rate of convergence to this measure is provided.
