A stochastic version of 2D Euler equations with transport type noise in the vorticity is considered, in the framework of Albeverio–Cruzeiro theory (Commun Math Phys 129:431–444, 1990) where the equation is considered with random initial conditions related to the so called enstrophy measure. The equation is studied by an approximation scheme based on random point vortices. Stochastic processes solving the Euler equations are constructed and their density with respect to the enstrophy measure is proved to satisfy a Fokker–Planck equation in weak form. Relevant in comparison with the case without noise is the fact that here we prove a gradient type estimate for the density. Although we cannot prove uniqueness for the Fokker–Planck equation, we discuss how the gradient type estimate may be related to this open problem.
