A note on continuous data assimilation for stochastic convective Brinkman-Forchheimer equations in 2D and 3D

Kush Kinra

TL;DR

This note extends continuous data assimilation (CDA) to the stochastic convective Brinkman-Forchheimer equations (SCBFEs) in 2D and 3D, driven by additive or multiplicative Gaussian noise. Using an AOT-style nudging term with an interpolant at resolution $\theta$, the authors derive conditions on the nudging parameter $\sigma$ and $\theta$ that guarantee convergence of the assimilated state to the true stochastic flow in mean-square, with pathwise convergence established for additive noise. They provide a comprehensive multiregime analysis (subcritical, critical, supercritical) showing exponential convergence in many cases, and demonstrate that nonlinear damping improves CDA performance relative to classical Navier–Stokes without damping. The results are supported by detailed energy estimates in expectation and probability, and they rely on a robust functional-analytic framework for SCBFEs with stochastic forcing, including Foias–Prodi-type convergence analyses and stopping-time techniques.

Abstract

Continuous data assimilation (CDA) methods, such as the nudging algorithm introduced by Azouani, Olson, and Titi (AOT), have proven to be highly effective in deterministic settings for asymptotically synchronizing approximate solutions with observed dynamics. In this note, we introduce and analyze an algorithm for CDA for the two- and three-dimensional stochastic convective Brinkman-Forchheimer equations (CBFEs) driven by either additive or multiplicative Gaussian noise. The model is believed to provide an accurate description when the flow velocity exceeds the regime of validity of Darcy's law and the porosity remains moderately large. We derive sufficient conditions on the nudging parameter and the spatial resolution of observations that ensure convergence of the assimilated solution to the true stochastic flow. We demonstrate convergence in the mean-square sense, and additionally establish pathwise convergence in the presence of additive noise. The CBFEs, also known as Navier-Stokes equations with damping, exhibit enhanced stability properties due to the presence of nonlinear damping term. In particular, we show that nonlinear damping not only enables the implementation of CDA in three dimensions but also yields improved convergence results in two dimensions when compared to the classical Navier-Stokes equations.

Key Result

Theorem 3.2

Under Hypothesis hyp-noise, let $\boldsymbol{f} \in \mathbb{V}^*$ and $\boldsymbol{\zeta}_0 \in \mathbb{H}$. Then, for all the cases given in Table Table, the system SCBFE admits a unique strong solution $\boldsymbol{\zeta}$ in the sense of Definition def-StrongSolution with $\mathbb{P}$-a.s. paths
