LONG TERM BEHAVIOR OF RANDOM NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS DRIVEN BY COLORED NOISE

This paper is devoted to the study of long term behavior of the two-dimensional random Navier-Stokes equations driven by colored noise defined in bounded and unbounded domains. We prove the existence and uniqueness of pullback random attractors for the equations with Lipschitz diffusion terms. In the case of additive noise, we show the upper semi-continuity of these attractors when the correlation time of the colored noise approaches zero. When the equations are defined on unbounded domains, we establish the pullback asymptotic compactness of the solutions by Ball's idea of energy equations in order to overcome the difficulty introduced by the noncompactness of Sobolev embeddings.
