    Uniqueness of solutions of the stochastic Navier-Stokes equation with invariant measure given by the enstrophy

    Full text link
    A stochastic Navier-Stokes equation with space-time Gaussian white noise is considered, having as infinitesimal invariant measure a Gaussian measure \mu_{\nu} whose covariance is given in terms of the enstrophy. Pathwise uniqueness for \mu_{\nu}-a.e. initial velocity is proven for solutions having \mu_{\nu} as invariant measure.Comment: Published by the Institute of Mathematical Statistics (http://www.imstat.org) in the Annals of Probability (http://www.imstat.org/aop/) at http://dx.doi.org/10.1214/00911790400000037

    This paper characterizes the relationship between applied force and reflectance/ transmittance of a terahertz frequency selective surface for use as a sensor in structural health monitoring. Numerical modelling of both the mechanical and electromagnetics, solving the elasticity equation and Maxwell’s equations, respectively, has been undertaken for a 3 layer device. The unit cell comprises of a metal cross wire embedded within a (hard) silicon substrate, interleaved with stacks of (soft) low density polyethylene
