Semigroup Splitting And Cubature Approximations For The Stochastic Navier-Stokes Equations

Approximation of the marginal distribution of the solution of the stochastic Navier-Stokes equations on the two-dimensional torus by high order numerical methods is considered. The corresponding rates of convergence are obtained for a splitting scheme and the method of cubature on Wiener space applied to a spectral Galerkin discretisation of degree $N$. While the estimates exhibit a strong $N$ dependence, convergence is obtained for appropriately chosen time step sizes. Results of numerical simulations are provided, and confirm the applicability of the methods.
