contents In this paper, we investigate the long-time behavior of the two-dimensional incompressible Boussinesq system with kinematic viscosity in a periodic channel, focusing on instability and asymptotic stability near hydrostatic equilibria. Firstly, we prove that any hydrostatic equilibrium reveals long-time instability when the initial data are perturbed in Sobolev spaces of low regularity. Secondly, we establish asymptotic stability of the stratified density, which is strictly decreasing in the vertical direction, under sufficiently regular perturbations, proving that the solution converges to the unique minimizer of the total energy. Our analysis is based on the energy method. Although the total energy dissipates due to kinematic viscosity, such mechanism cannot capture the stratification of the density. We overcome this difficulty by discovering another Lyapunov functional which exhibits the density stratification in a quantitative manner.
