Abstract
The free-fall condition proposed by Nadaoka et al. as a general wave breaking criterion is examined for its applicability to multi-directional breaking waves. The depth-integrated breaking wave model proposed by Nadaoka and Ono is applied to directional breaking wave simulation in which the free-fall condition is employed as a wave-breaking criterion. Comparison of the numerical results for simple directional breaking waves with the laboratory data obtained by experiments conducted in a multi-directional wave basin show good agreements in the breaking points, validating the free-fall condition as a useful breaking criterion for directional waves.
