Title |
: |
Stochastic Lagrangian Particle systems for the Navier-Stokes and Burgers equations |
Abstract | : |
I will introduce an exact
stochastic representation for certain non-linear transport equations (e.g.
3D-Navier-Stokes, Burgers) based on noisy Lagrangian paths, and use this
to construct a (stochastic) particle system for the Navier-Stokes
equations. On any fixed time interval, this particle system converges to
the Navier-Stokes equations as the number of particles goes to infinity.
