1 Introduction
The second grade fluids is an admissible model of slow flow fluids, which contains industrial fluids, slurries, polymer melts, etc.. It has attracted much attention from a theoretical point of view, since it has properties of boundedness, stability and exponential decay, and has interesting connections with many other fluid models, see e.g. [6], [14], [15], [27] and references therein.
Recently, taking into account random enviroment, the stochastic models of two-dimensional second grade fluids have been studied. For the case of Wiener noises, we refer to [9, 22, 23, 24, 33, 36], where the authors obtained the existence and uniqueness of solutions, the behavior of the solutions as , Freidlin-Wentzell’s large deviation principles and exponential mixing for the solutions. In the case of Lévy noises, the global existence of a martingale solution was obtained in [16], and the existence and uniqueness of strong probabilistic solutions is studied in [26].
Based on the results in [26], in this paper, we are concerned with Freidlin-Wentzell’s large deviation principle of stochastic models for the incompressible second grade fluids driven by Lévy noises, which are given as follows:
[TABLE]
where is an open domain of ; and represent the random velocity and modified pressure respectively. is a locally compact Polish space. On a specified complete filtered probability space , is a one-dimensional standard Brownian motion, and is a compensated Poisson random measure on with a -finite mean measure , is the Lebesgue measure on and is a -finite measure on . The details of will be given in Section 2.
Due to the appearance of jumps in our setting, the Freidlin-Wentzell’s large deviations are distinctively different to the Wiener case in [36]. We will apply the weak convergence approach introduced in [5] and [3] for the case of Poisson random measures. This approach is mainly based on a variational representation formula for continuous time processes, and has been proved to be a powerful tool to establish the Freidlin-Wentzell large deviation principle for various finite and infinite dimensional stochastic dynamical systems with irregular coefficients driven by a non-Gaussian Lévy noise, see for example [2], [3], [34], [35], [13], [21]. Because of the nature of the second grade fluids, technical difficulties arise even in the deterministic case. In addition to the complex structure of the system (1.1), the nature of the nonlinear term {\rm curl}\big{(}X^{\varepsilon}(t)-\alpha\Delta X^{\varepsilon}(t)\big{)}\times X^{\varepsilon}(t)dt implies that the solution should be in . The chain rule or Formula of (1.1) shows that the linear term is not acting as a smoothing term like many nonlinear evolutions such as the Navier-Stokes equations. On the other hand, when applying the weak convergence method to the system (1.1), it will be proved that the solutions of the controlled stochastic evolution equations (4.35), denoted by , have the following priori estimate:
[TABLE]
This is non-trival, see Lemma 4.2.
We organize this paper as follows. In Section 2, we introduce some functional spaces and appeared in the system (1.1). In Section 3, we formulate the hypotheses. In section 4, we establish the large deviation principle.
2 Notations and Preliminaries
In this section, we first introduce some functional spaces and preliminaries that are needed in the paper, and then specify in the system (1.1).
In this paper, we assume that is a simply connected and bounded open domain of with boundary of class . For and , we denote by and the usual and Sobolev spaces over respectively. Let be the closure in of the space of infinitely differentiable functions with compact supports in . For simplicity, we write and . We equip with the scalar product

[TABLE]
and the norm in is denoted by . The ’s inequality implies that there exists a constant such that the following inequalities holds
[TABLE]
We also introduce the following space
[TABLE]
and endow it with the norm generated by the scalar product
[TABLE]
The norm in is denoted by . It has been proved that, see e.g. [10, 12], the following (algebraic and topological) identity holds:
[TABLE]
moreover, there exists a constant such that
[TABLE]
This result states that the norm is equivalent to the usual norm in .
Identifying the Hilbert space with its dual space by the Riesz representation, we get a Gelfand triple
[TABLE]
We denote by the dual relation between and from now on. It is easy to see
[TABLE]
Note that the injection of into is compact, thus there exists a sequence of elements of which forms an orthonormal basis in , and an orthogonal system in , moreover this sequence verifies:

Noticing that (see (4.11) in [26], (4.61) in [23])
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
and
[TABLE]
we have
[TABLE]
we have used Condition 3.1.
By Lemma 3.1 and Gronwall’s inequality, we get (4.4). Now we proof (4.5). By (4.3)

4.2 The main result
We are now ready to state the main result. Recall that for , define
[TABLE]
The next theorem is contained in Theorem 3.2 in Shang, Zhai and Zhang [26].
Theorem 4.2
Assume Condition 3.1, if , there exists a unique -valued progressively measurable process such that for any

Set
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Using in strongly, we can easily get
[TABLE]
Since in and the linear mapping :h\mapsto\int_{0}^{T}\big{(}\widehat{G}(X(t),t)h(t),\psi(t)e_{j}\big{)}_{\mathbb{V}}dt is strong continuous, we have
[TABLE]
Combining (4.21), (4.22), we get
[TABLE]
Set
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
[TABLE]
Similarly as the proof of (4.25)( see (4.26) and (4.29)) in Zhai and Zhang [35], we can get
[TABLE]
Then, we can easily get
[TABLE]
We know that
[TABLE]
combining this with Remark 1, we now get from Lemma 3.2 that

[TABLE]
For , we have
[TABLE]
Together with (4.28), (4.29), (4.30), (4.31), (4.33), we obtain
[TABLE]
where , satisfying
Then by Gronwall’s inequality, we get
[TABLE]
By (4.29) in Zhai and Zhang [35], we can easily get as , combining (4.32), we get
[TABLE]
The proof is completed. ∎

[TABLE]
Let \big{(}(\psi,\varphi),0\big{)} be any limit point of the tight family \big{\{}\big{(}(\psi_{\varepsilon},\varphi_{\varepsilon}),\widetilde{Y}^{\varepsilon}\big{)},\varepsilon\in(0,\varepsilon_{0})\big{\}} in . By Skorokhod representation theorem, there exists a probability space \big{(}\Omega^{1},\mathcal{F}^{1},P^{1}\big{)} and on this basis, there exist -valued random variables \big{(}(\psi^{1},\varphi^{1}),0\big{)}, \big{\{}\big{(}(\psi_{\varepsilon}^{1},\varphi_{\varepsilon}^{1}),\widetilde{Y}^{\varepsilon}_{1}\big{)},\varepsilon\in(0,\varepsilon_{0})\big{\}} such that \big{(}(\psi_{\varepsilon}^{1},\varphi_{\varepsilon}^{1}),\widetilde{Y}^{\varepsilon}_{1}\big{)} (respectively \big{(}(\psi^{1},\varphi^{1}),0\big{)}) has the same law as \big{(}(\psi_{\varepsilon},\varphi_{\varepsilon}),\widetilde{Y}^{\varepsilon}\big{)} (respectively \big{(}(\psi,\varphi),0\big{)}) and \big{(}(\psi_{\varepsilon}^{1},\varphi_{\varepsilon}^{1}),\widetilde{Y}^{\varepsilon}_{1}\big{)}\rightarrow\big{(}(\psi^{1},\varphi^{1}),0\big{)} -a.s. in .

Keep in mind claim (1), similarly as the proof of Theorem 4.1, we can prove (4.63) has a unique solution.
Comparing (4.60) and (4.63), and \big{(}(\psi_{\varepsilon}^{1},\varphi_{\varepsilon}^{1}),\widetilde{Y}^{\varepsilon}_{1}\big{)} has the same law as \big{(}(\psi_{\varepsilon},\varphi_{\varepsilon}),\widetilde{Y}^{\varepsilon}\big{)}, we can conclude that \big{(}\bar{Z}^{\varepsilon},\widetilde{Y}^{\varepsilon}_{1}\big{)} has the same law as \big{(}\widetilde{Z}^{\varepsilon},\widetilde{Y}^{\varepsilon}\big{)}, hence
[TABLE]
By (4.62) and a similar argument as in the proof of Proposition 4.4, we can show that
