Abstract

being a bounded open set in , with regular boundary, we associate with Navier–Stokes equation in where the velocity is null on , a non-linear branching process (). More precisely: , for any test function , where , denotes the velocity solution of Navier–Stokes equation. The support of the random measure increases or decreases of one unit when the underlying process hits ; this stochastic phenomenon corresponds to the creation-annihilation of vortex localized at the boundary of .
