Stochastic convective Brinkman-Forchheimer equations on general Unbounded Domains

Abstract

The stochastic convective Brinkman-Forchheimer (SCBF) equations in an open connected set $\mathcal{O}\subseteq\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\in \{2,3,4\}$) or torus are considered in this work. We show the existence of a pathwise unique strong solution (in the probabilistic sense) satisfying the energy equality (It\^o formula) to SCBF equations perturbed by multiplicative Gaussian noise. We exploited a monotonicity property of the linear and nonlinear operators as well as a stochastic generalization of the Minty-Browder technique in the proofs. The energy equality is obtained by approximating the solution using approximate functions constituting the elements of eigenspaces of a compact operator in such a way that the approximations are bounded and converge in both Sobolev and Lebesgue spaces simultaneously. We further discuss the global in time regularity results of such strong solutions on the torus. The exponential stability results (in mean square and pathwise sense) for the stationary solutions is also established in this work for large effective viscosity. Moreover, a stabilization result of the stochastic convective Brinkman-Forchheimer equations by using a multiplicative noise is obtained. Finally, when $\mathcal{O}$ is a bounded domain, we establish the existence of a unique invariant measure for the SCBF equations with multiplicative Gaussian noise, which is both ergodic and strongly mixing, using the exponential stability of strong solutions.
