Abstract

In this work, we consider the incompressible generalized Navier-Stokes-Voigt equations in a bounded domain ORd\mathcal{O}\subset\mathbb{R}^d, d2d\geq 2, driven by a multiplicative Gaussian noise. The considered momentum equation is given by: \begin{align*} \mathrm{d}\left(\boldsymbol{u} - \kappa \Delta \boldsymbol{u}\right) = \left[\boldsymbol{f} +\operatorname{div} \left(-\pi\mathbf{I}+\nu|\mathbf{D}(\boldsymbol{u})|^{p-2}\mathbf{D}(\boldsymbol{u})-\boldsymbol{u}\otimes \boldsymbol{u}\right)\right]\mathrm{d} t + \Phi(\boldsymbol{u})\mathrm{d} \mathrm{W}(t). \end{align*} In the case of d=2,3d=2,3, u\boldsymbol{u} accounts for the velocity field, π\pi is the pressure, f\boldsymbol{f} is a body force and the final term stay for the stochastic forces. Here, κ\kappa and ν\nu are given positive constants that account for the kinematic viscosity and relaxation time, and the power-law index pp is another constant (assumed p>1p>1) that characterizes the flow. We use the usual notation I\mathbf{I} for the unit tensor and D(u):=12(u+(u))\mathbf{D}(\boldsymbol{u}):=\frac{1}{2}\left(\nabla \boldsymbol{u} + (\nabla \boldsymbol{u})^{\top}\right) for the symmetric part of velocity gradient. For p(2dd+2,)p\in\big(\frac{2d}{d+2},\infty\big), we first prove the existence of a martingale solution. Then we show the pathwise uniqueness of solutions. We employ the classical Yamada-Watanabe theorem to ensure the existence of a unique probabilistic strong solution.Then we show the pathwise uniqueness of solutions.
