Abstract
A three-dimensional numerical model based on the complete Navier-Stokes equations is developed for wave breaking. A model based on the Navier-Stokes equations is valid over entire range of the water depth and can be used to simulate linear or nonlinear water wave propagation with or without energy dissipation. To include the wave breaking the concept of the surface roller is applied. It is assumed that the surface roller is essentially a passive bulk of water, being transported with the wave celerity c. The model has been tested against existing experiment data and good agreement has been achieved.
