TL;DR
The paper proves global-in-time existence of dissipative martingale solutions to the stochastically forced, compressible Navier–Stokes equations with slip boundary conditions of friction type on bounded $C^{2+ u}$ domains, for isentropic pressure $p( ho)=a ho^eta$ with $eta>rac{3}{2}$. It achieves this via a novel five-layer approximation scheme that combines the BFH four-layer approach with a convex-approximation strategy for the boundary term, while regularizing the diffusion to manage stochastic effects without heavy projections. A careful chain of uniform energy estimates and compactness arguments (including Jakubowski’s extension of the Skorokhod representation) enables limit passages in $R oty$, $ u o 0$, and $m oty$, yielding a global weak solution that is consistent with both the analytic structure and the probabilistic framework. The work also clarifies equivalence with stronger martingale notions when density is bounded away from zero and extends the method to alternative slip conditions, highlighting the role of friction modulus and boundary terms in the energy balance and momentum equations.
Abstract
We study a mathematical model of a compressible viscous fluid driven by stochastic forces under slip boundary conditions of friction type. We introduce a notion of a weak solution that is analytically and probabilistically consistent with this model. Our main result establishes the existence of such weak solutions under slip boundary conditions on bounded domains with $C^{2+ν}$-boundary ($ν>0$). The proof of this result combines an extended version of the four-layer approximation scheme on the torus by Breit/Feireisl/Hofmanová (2018) with the convex approximation method for absolute value functions studied by Nečasová/Ogorzaly/Scherz (2023).
