Abstract

We study in this article a stochastic version of a well-known diffuse interface model. The model consists of the Navier–Stokes equations for the average velocity, nonlinearly coupled with a nonlocal Cahn–Hilliard equation for the order (phase) parameter. The system describes the evolution of an incompressible isothermal mixture of binary fluids excited by random forces in a two dimensional bounded domain. For a fairly general class of random forces, we prove the existence and uniqueness of a variational solution.
