Abstract: In order to accurately simulate physical phenomena, appropriate boundary conditions must be implemented. Where some information propagate along the characteristic curves as in the hyperbolic system such as shallow water equations (SWEs), open boundary conditions (OBCs) must be designed so that such an event should also be maintained even at the boundaries. In other words, OBCs of SWEs must pass information out of the domain and receive the incoming information without any numerical distortion. If OBCs do not reflect the characteristics of SWE, errors will occur and contaminate the information in the internal domain. This study compares several OBCs based on the hyperbolic characteristics of SWE and shows that OBCs derived using hyperbolic characteristic performs better in the several OBCs.
