Under suitable restrictions imposed on the constitutive relations we show that this open system is dissipative in the sense of Levinson, meaning there exists a bounded absorbing set for any global-in-time weak solution. In addition, global-in-time trajectories are asymptotically compact in suitable topologies and the system possesses a global compact trajectory attractor. The standard technique of Krylov and Bogolyubov then yields the existence of an invariant measure - a stationary statistical solution sitting on the global attractor. In addition, the Birkhoff--Khinchin ergodic theorem provides convergence of ergodic averages of solutions belonging to the attractor a.s. with respect to the invariant measure. -- Indico :: Email Notifier https://events.dm.unipi.it/e/93
