contents We study the Stokes-transport system in a two-dimensional channel with horizontally moving boundaries, which serves as a reduced model for oceanography and sedimentation. The density is transported by the velocity field, satisfying the momentum balance between viscosity, pressure, and gravity effects, described by the Stokes equation at any given time. Due to the presence of moving boundaries, stratified densities with the Couette flow constitute one class of steady states. In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic stability of these steady states. We prove that if the stratified density is close to a constant density and the perturbation belongs to the Gevrey-3 class with compact support away from the boundary, then the velocity will converge to the Couette flow as time approaches infinity. More precisely, we prove that the horizontal perturbed velocity decays as $\frac{1}{\langle t\rangle^3}$ and the vertical perturbed velocity decays as $\frac{1}{\langle t\rangle^4}$.
