Abstract

In the thin domain Oe = T2 × (0, e), where T2 is a two-dimensional torus, we consider the 3D Navier-Stokes equations, perturbed by a white in time random force, and the Leray a-approximation for this system. We study ergodic properties of these models and their connection with the corresponding 2D models in the limit e ? 0. In particular, under natural conditions concerning the noise we show that in some rigorous sense the 2D stationary measure µ comprises asymptotical in time statistical properties of solutions for the 3D Navier-Stokes equations in Oe, when e « 1. © 2008 Elsevier B.V.
