Abstract: This paper concerns with the stability of the plane Couette flow resulted from the motions of boundaries that the top boundary $Sigm{a}_1$ and the bottom one $Sigm{a}_0$ move with constant velocities $(a,0)$ and $(b,0)$, respectively. If one imposes Dirichlet boundary condition on the top boundary and Navier boundary condition on the bottom boundary with Navier coefficient $alpha$, there always exists a plane Couette flow which is exponentially stable for nonnegative $alpha$ and any positive viscosity $mu$ and any $a,binmathbbR$, or, for $alpha<0$ but viscosity $mu$ and the moving velocities of boundaries $(a,0),(b,0)$ satisfy some conditions stated in Theorem 1.1. However, if we impose Navier boundary conditions on both boundaries with Navier coefficients $alph{a}_0$ and $alph{a}_1$, then it is proved that there also exists a plane Couette flow (including constant flow or trivial steady states) which is exponentially stable provided that any one of two conditions on $alph{a}_0,alph{a}_1$, $a,b$ and $mu$ in Theorem 1.2 holds. Therefore, the known results for the stability of incompressible Couette flow to no-slip (Dirichlet) boundary value problems are extended to the Navier boundary value problems.
