Abstract

In this article we use Gaussian measure on RN\mathbb{R}^N to define the coefficients of an elliptic diffusion on an open cone of R2\mathbb{R}^2. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a stationary distribution for this diffusion. In a companion article, we show that the diffusion constructed in this work is the inviscid limit of the laws of the ``enstrophy-energy'' process of a stationary NN-dimensional Galerkin-Navier-Stokes type evolution with Brownian forcing and random stirring (the strength of which can be made to go to zero in the inviscid limit). In the present work, owing to the special properties of the coefficients constructed with the Gaussian measure, we bound the distance to 11 of the ratio of the expected energy to the expected enstrophy (this ratio is at most 11 with our normalization). Together with our companion article, this shows that for suitable Brownian forcings an inviscid condensation inducing an attrition of all but the lowest modes takes place.
