Abstract: Many numerical schemes for hyperbolic systems require a piecewise polynomial reconstruction of the cell averaged values, and to simulate perturbed steady states accurately we require a so called 'well balanced' reconstruction scheme. For the shallow water system this involves reconstructing in surface elevation, to which modifications must be made as the fluid depth becomes small to ensure positivity. We investigate the scheme proposed in Skevington (2021) though numerical experiments, demonstrating its ability to resolve steady and near steady states at high accuracy. We also present a modification to the scheme which enables the resolution of slowly moving shocks and dam break problems without compromising the well balanced property.
