Description

The PDEs known as the Euler and Navier-Stokes equations are important for a number of reasons. They describe the motion of fluids under a wide range of conditions. The Euler equations provide a model for inviscid (i.e., zero frictional) fluid behavior and were presented by Euler in the 1750s. The Navier-Stokes equations include the effects of friction and date to the mid 1800s. Probabilistic versions of the equations provide a model for turbulent behavior. Even though the fluid equations have a long and distinguished history, many of the fundamental mathematical questions associated with them remain an open challenge. For example, the existence and uniqueness of physically reasonable solutions for the Navier-Stokes equation was chosen to be one of the "million dollar" prize problems identified by the Clay Mathematical Institute. Stochastic equations of fluid dynamics is an emerging field bringing together experts from mechanics of fluids, PDEs and stochastic analysis. It has long been suspected that Navier-Stokes and Euler equations with random perturbations might serve as an important mathematical model for the turbulent motion of a fluid with high Reynolds number. For such equations there are many related open problems such as the existence of stochastic flows, Lyapunov exponents and attractors, qualitative properties of invariant measures, large deviations principle. There are also longstanding problems concerning the 'blow-up' of solutions of Navier-Stokes and Euler equations and the detailed connection with the onset of turbulence. Some of the recent developments in stochastic fluids are very promising. These include:

1. ergodic properties and the structure of invariant measures of Burgers and 2-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations;
2. stochastic Lagrangian models of fluids;
3. new vortex filament based models;
4. development of an analytical theory of Kolmogorov equations for stochastic fluids;
5. applications of Wiener chaos to de-coupling of the Reynolds equation.

These problems have also been studied in depth by the mathematical physicists. In particular, substantial progress has been made in understanding of Kraichnan's model of turbulence and intermittency effects. This workshop is partially supported by the Clay Mathematics Institute.
