Abstract
We consider a stochastic equation of Navier-Stokes type containing a noise
part given by a stochastic integral with respect to a Wiener process. The
purpose of this paper is to approximate the solution of this nonlinear equation by the Galerkin method. We prove the convergence in mean square.
