Abstract
We derive a general form of well-posed open boundary conditions for the two-dimensional shallow water equations by using the energy method. Both the number and the type of boundary conditions are presented for subcritical and supercritical flows on a general domain. The boundary conditions are also discussed for a rectangular domain. We compare the results with a number of often used open boundary conditions and show that they are a subset of the derived general form.
