Abstract

The stochastic 3D Navier–Stokes equation with damping driven by a multiplicative noise is considered in this paper. The existence of invariant measures is proved for $3 \lt \beta \leq 5$ with any $\alpha \gt 0$ and $\alpha \geq \frac{1}{2}$ as $\beta = 3$. Using asymptotic strong Feller property, the uniqueness of invariant measures is obtained for the degenerate additive noise. The existence of a random attractor for the random dynamical systems generated by the solution of stochastic 3D Navier–Stokes equations with damping is proved for $\beta \gt 3$ with any $\alpha \gt 0$ and $\alpha \geq \frac{1}{2}$ as $\beta = 3$.
