Ekman Boundary Layers Under Transport Noise
Abstract
We consider a 3D rotating Navier-Stokes equation with transport-stretching noise, posed between two horizontal plates, and study the joint limit of vanishing vertical viscosity and rapid rotation. Our driving noise depends only on the horizontal coordinates and its vertical component vanishes with the viscosity. Provided that the initial data is purely horizontal, we construct martingale weak solutions which converge in L2ωL∞tL2x to the layered strong solution of a 2D stochastic Navier-Stokes equation with damping. The damping coefficient is dependent on the limit of the ratio between vertical viscosity and inverse rotation rate.

Our driving noise depends only on the horizontal coordinates and its vertical component vanishes with the viscosity. Provided that the initial data is purely horizontal, we construct martingale weak solutions which converge in L^2_ωL^∞_tL^2_x to the layered strong solution of a 2D stochastic Navier-Stokes equation with damping.
