I’m so sad to have lost my dear friend Peter Morgan - who’s on the far left of this image. Peter was a simply wonderful person and everyone at Wirth Research sends their deepest condolences to Sally and his family. We’ll miss you Peter 😔

This is a great listen on BBC Radio 4, as @wirthtoday talks about the Halo device, which is currently saving lives in @F1.
Our Unison tube bending machines play a key part in making the Halo.

We have moved! We relocated our computing resources to Iceland, allowing us to continue our ground-breaking work using geothermal energy to power it. We also moved offices to a newly developed Eco building (perchcoworking.co.uk/eco-bus…), bringing us very close to zero carbon target.
Congratulations to @INEOSTEAMUK and @AinslieBen for an amazing turnaround since Christmas and getting through to the @PradaCup finals. I hope @NYYCAmericanMag can get the extensive damage of their scary capsize fixed in time for their showdown with @lunarossa. Fanstastic racing!

We need to talk about ventilation so much more - opening windows will save lives - in cars, houses, buses, workplaces, schools...
‘People are truly baffled as how they managed to catch it.. they wore a mask, distanced & followed official guidelines
This is not problem of ignorance or denial but lack of education– & that, like so much else during this pandemic, is fault of government’

Team NZ @americascup boat launched this wk & it's a marvel of modern engineering. Physics shows that hydrodynamic drag is a function of wake size, so look at wake differential between AC sail boat & internal combustion chase boats.
Great challenge for Team UK 🇬🇧

Forget scrubbing surfaces, it's the airborne virus we have to deal with: nytimes.com/2020/11/18/world…
Excellent article from @nytimes on why we should be focusing our attention on mitigating the airborne transmission of Coronavirus

I’ve been using the free @ng_eso app to minimise my #carbonfootprint.
It gives a real time overview of energy consumption in the UK, with the green areas showing when it is coming from the ‘cleanest’ sources.

Airplanes amongst worst environments for virus transmission due to recirculating air, close seating & long hauls.
Our OpenAir system solves this using vertical airflow to push viral particles down & prevent infection.

Our OpenAir technology can help businesses assess where #Coronavirus transmission is likely to take place in indoor areas.
This video shows modelling of complex airflow around and through a supermarket, enabling measures to be put in place to minimise viral transmission.

How do you stop the spread of #Coronavirus in confined public spaces such as lifts?
Vertical Airflow ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Our OpenAir solution can divert contaminated air particles and eliminate the need for social distancing.

This backs up our work at @wirthresearch, using CFD to analyse and mitigate the viral transmission of micron-droplets of #COVID_19 via airflow.
Our OpenAir process adapts airflow to disperse droplets away from high risk areas: wirthresearch.com/wirth-rese…

Five ways to avoid catching #coronavirus indoors - my take on the value of ventilation with thanks to @CIBSE_NatVent @CathNoakes @wymelenberg @wirthresearch @wirthtoday bbc.co.uk/news/explainers-53…
Proud to be working with @TheSouthernCoop, which is trialling our EcoBlade technology across several stores to help reduce CO2 emissions.

It is with deep sadness that I have to announce Wirth Research’s Chief Aerodynamicist Andy MacAulay has passed away. Andy was one of the most talented engineers that I've had the privilege to work with. Full statement bit.ly/30S4cHr

Coronavirus is airborne and we need innovative solutions to mitigate its spread in indoor environments.
Our research shows that controlling airflow is key to this.

As offices re-open we need innovative solutions to ensure the safety of workers. I spoke to @FT about the work we're doing in this area, alongside other innovators who are engineering essential solutions for the built environment.
