	%X Linear stability of wake-shear layers in two-phase
shallow flows is analyzed in the present paper. Stability analysis is
based on two-dimensional shallow water equations. It is assumed that
the fluid contains uniformly distributed solid particles. No dynamic
interaction between the carrier fluid and particles is expected in the
initial moment. Linear stability curves are obtained for different
values of the particle loading parameter, the velocity ratio and the
velocity deficit. It is shown that the increase in the velocity ratio
destabilizes the flow. The particle loading parameter has a stabilizing
effect on the flow. The role of the velocity deficit is also
destabilizing: the increase of the velocity deficit leads to less stable
flow.
