Abstract
We study generalised Navier–Stokes equations governing the motion of an electro-rheological fluid subject to stochastic perturbation. Stochastic effects are implemented through (i) random initial data, (ii) a forcing term in the momentum equation represented by a multiplicative white noise and (iii) a random character of the variable exponent p= p(ω, t, x) (as a result of a random electric field). We show the existence of a weak martingale solution provided the variable exponent satisfies p≥p->3nn+2 (p -> 1 in two dimensions). Under additional assumptions we obtain also stochastically strong solutions.
