Abstract

Abstract: In this work, we consider the two-dimensional viscoelastic fluid flow equations, arising from the Oldroyd model for the non-Newtonian fluid flows. We investigate the well-posedness of such models in two-dimensional bounded and unbounded (Poincaré domains) domains, both in deterministic and stochastic settings. The existence and uniqueness of weak solution in the deterministic case is proved via a local monotonicity property of the linear and nonlinear operators and a localized version of the Minty-Browder technique. Some results on the exponential stability of stationary solutions are also established. The global solvability results for the stochastic counterpart are obtained by a stochastic generalization of the Minty-Browder technique. The exponential stability results in the mean square as well as in the pathwise (almost sure) sense are also discussed. Using the exponential stability results, we finally prove the existence of a unique invariant measure, which is ergodic and strongly mixing.
