Abstract: | A viscous Stokes flow over a disc under random fluctuations of the velocity on the boundary is studied. We give exact Karhunen-Loève
(K-L) expansions for the velocity components, pressure, stress, and vorticity, and the series representations for the corresponding
correlation tensors. Both the white noise fluctuations, and general homogeneous random excitations of the velocities prescribed
on the boundary are studied. We analyze the decay of correlation functions in angular and radial directions, both for exterior
and interior Stokes problems. Numerical experiments show the fast convergence of the K-L expansions. The results indicate
that ignoring the stochastic fluctuations in boundary conditions dramatically underestimates the variance of the velocity
and pressure in the interior/exterior of the domain.
