Abstract:We propose and study a layer method for stochastic Navier-Stokes equations (SNSE) with spatial periodic boundary conditions and additive noise. The method is constructed using conditional probabilistic representations of solutions to SNSE and exploiting ideas of the weak sense numerical integration of stochastic di¤erential equations. We prove some convergence results for the proposed method including its …rst mean-square order. Results of numerical experiments on two model problems are presented.
“…It is, however, possible to extend the method to some classes of non-linear PDEs. On the one hand, we refer to [30] for a layer method based on stochastic representations for a class of stochastic Navier Stokes equations. On the other hand, there are representations of more general non-linear PDEs by backward stochastic differential equations, more precisely systems of second order forward-backward SDEs.…”
A simulation based method for the numerical solution of PDEs with random coefficients is presented. By the Feynman-Kac formula, the solution can be represented as conditional expectation of a functional of a corresponding stochastic differential equation driven by independent noise. A time discretization of the SDE for a set of points in the domain and a subsequent Monte Carlo regression lead to an approximation of the global solution of the random PDE. We provide an initial error and complexity analysis of the proposed method along with numerical examples illustrating its behavior.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 35R60, 47B80, 60H35, 65C20, 65N12, 65N22, 65J10,65C05 .

“…in [9,16,18]. The literature on numerics for deterministic NSE is extensive [11,27,30] (see also references therein) while the literature on numerics for stochastic NSE is still rather sparse, let us mention [5,3,2,7,26].…”
We consider a time discretization of incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with spatial periodic boundary conditions in the vorticity-velocity formulation. The approximation is based on freezing the velocity on time subintervals resulting in linear parabolic equations for vorticity. Probabilistic representations for solutions of these linear equations are given. At each time step, the velocity is expressed via vorticity using a formula corresponding to the Biot-Savart-type law. We show that the approximation is divergent free and of first order. The results are extended to two-dimensional stochastic Navier-Stokes equations with additive noise, where, in particular, we prove the first mean-square convergence order of the vorticity approximation.
“…There have also been some works on numerics for SPDEs in the sense of time-dependent PDEs driven by temporal (Brownian) noise. In particular, we refer to [22] for applications to stochastic Navier-Stokes equations. Due to the non-linearity, the Feynman-Kac representation cannot be directly applied in that problem, but a layer method based on linearized problems is constructed.…”
A numerical method for the fully adaptive sampling and interpolation of linear PDEs with random data is presented. It is based on the idea that the solution of the PDE with stochastic data can be represented as conditional expectation of a functional of a corresponding stochastic differential equation (SDE). The spatial domain is decomposed by a non-uniform grid and a classical Euler scheme is employed to approximately solve the SDE at grid vertices. Interpolation with a conforming finite element basis is employed to reconstruct a global solution of the problem. An a posteriori error estimator is introduced which provides a measure of the different error contributions. This facilitates the formulation of an adaptive algorithm to control the overall error by either reducing the stochastic error by locally evaluating more samples, or the approximation error by locally refining the underlying mesh. Numerical examples illustrate the performance of the presented novel method.• the pointwise solution in the spatial domain is determined by an appropriate SDE and solved by an adaptive Euler scheme as in [1], 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. 35R60, 47B80, 60H35, 65C20, 65N12, 65N22, 65J10,65C05 .
