Abstract

We propose and study the framework of dissipative statistical solutions for the incompressible Euler equations. Statistical solutions are time-parameterized probability measures on the space of square-integrable functions, whose time-evolution is determined from the underlying Euler equations. We prove partial well-posedness results for dissipative statistical solutions and propose a Monte Carlo type algorithm, based on spectral viscosity spatial discretizations, to approximate them. Under verifiable hypotheses on the computations, we prove that the approximations converge to a statistical solution in a suitable topology. In particular, multi-point statistical quantities of interest converge on increasing resolution. We present several numerical experiments to illustrate the theory.
