Landau-Lifshitz-Navier-Stokes Equations: Large Deviations and Relationship to The Energy Equality (2311.02223v2)

Abstract: The dynamical large deviations principle for the three-dimensional incompressible Landau-Lifschitz-Navier-Stokes equations is shown, in the joint scaling regime of vanishing noise intensity and correlation length. This proves the consistency of the large deviations in lattice gas models \cite{QY}, with Landau-Lifschitz fluctuating hydrodynamics \cite{LL87}. Secondly, in the course of the proof, we unveil a novel relation between the validity of the deterministic energy equality for the deterministic forced Navier-Stokes equations and matching large deviations upper and lower bounds. In particular, we conclude that time-reversible uniqueness to the forced Navier-Stokes equations implies the validity of the energy equality, thus generalising the classical Lions-Ladyzhenskaya result. Thirdly, we prove that no non-trivial large deviations result can be true for local-in-time strong solutions.
