We study the evolution and oscillations of fixed massive neutrinos interacting with stochastic gravitational waves (GWs). The energy spectrum of these GWs is Gaussian and the correlator of the amplitudes is arbitrary. We derive the equation for the density matrix for flavor neutrinos in this case. In the two flavors approximation, this equation can be solved analytically. We find the numerical solution for the density matrix in the general case of three neutrino flavors. We consider merging binary black holes as sources of stochastic GWs with realistic spectra. Both normal and inverted mass orderings are analyzed. We discuss the relaxation of the neutrino fluxes in stochastic GWs emitted mainly by supermassive black holes. In this situation, we obtain the range of energies and the propagation lengths for which the relaxation process is the most efficient. We discuss the application of our results for the observation of fluxes of astrophysical neutrinos.
