contents This paper introduces well-balanced path-conservative discontinuous Galerkin (DG) methods for two-layer shallow water equations, ensuring exactness for both still water and moving water equilibrium steady states. The approach involves approximating the equilibrium variables within the DG piecewise polynomial space, while expressing the DG scheme in the form of path-conservative schemes. To robustly handle the nonconservative products governing momentum exchange between the layers, we incorporate the theory of Dal Maso, LeFloch, and Murat (DLM) within the DG method. Additionally, linear segment paths connecting the equilibrium functions are chosen to guarantee the well-balanced property of the resulting scheme. The simple ``lake-at-rest" steady state is naturally satisfied without any modification, while a specialized treatment of the numerical flux is crucial for preserving the moving water steady state. Extensive numerical examples in one and two dimensions validate the exact equilibrium preservation of the steady state solutions and demonstrate its high-order accuracy. The performance of the method and high-resolution results further underscore its potential as a robust approach for nonconservative hyperbolic balance laws.
