- [AirDoor Curve](https://wirthresearch.com/airdoor/airdoor-curve/): AIRDOOR AIRDOOR CURVE THE AIRDOOR CURVE IS AN ADVANCED AIR CURTAIN THAT CREATES AN “INVISIBLE DOOR” USING AERODYNAMIC AIRFLOW INSTEAD OF HEATED OR COOLED AIR Unlike the standard AirDoor, the Curve is engineered for spaces where adjoining rooms have very different temperatures. Warm air naturally escapes upwards while cold air drifts in along the floor. The Curve’s unique twisted legs redirect airflow to block this natural exchange, keeping hot and cold zones separate. Perfect for cold storage inside heated warehouses, it can replace strip curtains or automatic roller doors, boosting efficiency and comfort. If your space has a significant temperature […]
- [AirDoor](https://wirthresearch.com/products/airdoor): our PRODUCTS AIRDOOR AirDoor is a revolutionary alternative to traditional air curtains It employs a three-sided air curtain with active, targeted airflow to enhance interior comfort and boost the building’s energy efficiency. Situated directly inside the entrance, it generates a plume of air to reduce weather-related infiltration, such as wind (temperature & humidity disruption), dust, pollution and wind-driven rain (slippery floors). This enables retailers to better utilise the front-of-store area and helps food display equipment run more efficiently. While heated/cooled air curtains cost you money, AirDoor delivers a positive ROI. AirDoor: Key Reasons for Advanced Air Curtain Tech Keep the […]
- [Marussia Virgin VR-01](https://wirthresearch.com/virgin-vr-01/): Marussia Virgin VR-01 From the Archives: DesigN and Development of the Marussia Virgin VR-01 – F1’s First CFD-Only Car  Go back in time with Wirth Research as we revisit the design and development of the Marussia Virgin VR-01 — the first Formula 1 car created entirely without a wind tunnel.  This archive footage from 2009–2010 showcases how Wirth Research broke new ground using advanced CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) to develop a fully digital F1 car. The VR-01 marked a turning point in motorsport engineering, challenging traditional methods and setting the stage for the future of aerodynamic design. Play Video

- [Victoria House](https://wirthresearch.com/projects/victoria-house/): our Project – PEDESTRIAN WIND MICROCLIMATE VICTORIA HOUSE Ensuring the suitability of design for a key building within the Portugal Street East masterplan within the wider HS2 Manchester Piccadilly Regeneration plans. Sitting in the centre of a group of large developments, Victoria House is a 25 storey tower, with the common wind environment challenges of a tall building. These issues were made acceptable over an iterative design process through a variety of architectural interventions at both ground and terrace levels. There were a number of cumulative schemes to test for this building, leading to two different wind scenarios to consider, […]
