In this work, in a monodimensional setting, the high order accuracy and the well-balanced (WB) properties of some novel continuous interior penalty (CIP) stabilizations for the Shallow Water (SW) equations are investigated. The underlying arbitrary high order numerical framework is given by a Residual Distribution (RD)/continuous Galerkin (CG) finite element method (FEM) setting for the space discretization coupled with a Deferred Correction (DeC) time integration, to have a fully-explicit scheme. If, on the one hand, the introduced CIP stabilizations are all specifically designed to guarantee the exact preservation of the lake at rest steady state, on the other hand, some of them make use of general structures to tackle the preservation of general steady states, whose explicit analytical expression is not known. Several basis functions have been considered in the numerical experiments and, in all cases, the numerical results confirm the high order accuracy and the ability of the novel stabilizations to exactly preserve the lake at rest steady state and to capture small perturbations of such equilibrium. Moreover, some of them, based on the notions of space residual and global flux, have shown very good performances and superconvergences in the context of general steady solutions not known in closed-form. Despite the simulations addressing the monodimensional SW equations only, many elements can be extended to other general hyperbolic systems and to a multidimensional setting.
