contents We demonstrate that the shallow water moment equations satisfy an auxiliary entropy conservation law, where the entropy function corresponds to the total energy. Additionally, we show that the classical Newtonian slip friction and Manning friction terms are entropy dissipative with respect to the developed entropy variables. The results from the continuous entropy analysis are used to construct an entropy stable and well-balanced nodal discontinuous Galerkin spectral element method for the spatial approximation. Key to ensure the entropy stability of the scheme is the derivation of entropy conservative numerical fluxes that satisfy a discrete version of the entropy flux compatibility condition. Finally, numerical examples demonstrate the performance of the scheme and validate the theoretical results.
