This repository is a combination of the work undertaken by students under Associate Professor Lennon Ó'Náraigh at UCD. Generally, this work has centered around modelling water droplet impacts using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This has primarily been done with the open source CFD library OpenFOAM.

This repository consists of 3 main folders. Each folder is a first name of one of the above students. The contents of each folder is associated with that particular student. Naturally, we thank these students for their previous work and contributions. Within each folder there is a readme description of the main contents of the folder.
The following sources were found to be very useful whilst conducting this project so far. Feel free to add to this list appropriately to aid future students.
