Abstract: In this note, we announce a complete classification of stability of periodic roll-wave solutions of the viscous shallow-water equations, from their onset at Froude number $Fapprox2$ up to the infinite-Froude limit. For intermediate Froude numbers, we obtain numerically a particularly simple power-law relation between $F$ and the boundaries of the region of stable periods, that appears potentially useful in hydraulic engineering applications. In the asymptotic regime $Fo2$ (onset), we provide an analytic expression of the stability boundaries whereas in the limit $Foinfty$, we show that roll-waves are always unstable.
