One shows that the Navier-Stokes equation in O⊂R d , d = 2, 3, around an unstable equilibrium solution is exponentially stabilizable in probability by an internal noise controller V (t, ξ) = N i=1 V i (t)ψ i (ξ)β i (t), ξ ∈ O, where {β i } N i=1 are independent Brownian motions and {ψ i } N i=1 is a system of functions on O with support in an arbitrary open subset O 0 ⊂ O. The stochastic control input {V i } N i=1 is found in feedback form. The corresponding result for the linearized Navier-Stokes equation was established in [2].
