Stochastic primitive equations with horizontal viscosity and diffusivity
Martin Saal, Jakub Slavík · Electronic Journal of Probability · 2023
We establish the existence and uniqueness of pathwise strong solutions to the stochastic 3D primitive equations with only horizontal viscosity and diffusivity driven by transport noise on a cylindrical domain M=(−h,0)×G, G⊂R2 bounded and smooth, with the physical Dirichlet boundary conditions on the lateral part of the boundary. Compared to the deterministic case where the uniqueness of z-weak solutions holds in L2, more regular initial data are necessary to establish uniqueness in the anisotropic space Hz1Lxy2 so that the existence of local pathwise solutions can be deduced from the Gyöngy-Krylov theorem. Global existence is established using the logarithmic Sobolev embedding, the stochastic Gronwall lemma and an iterated stopping time argument.
