General Features of CORMIX
• Predicts quantitative &
qualitative features of mixing
process
• Covers NPDES regulatory
concerns for conventional &
toxic discharges
• Provides guidance to improve
designs and associated
dilutions

Mixing Zones for conventional and
toxic discharges, respectively
CORMIX Models

Near-field vs. Far-Field Mixing
• Near-field mixing
– Close to source
– Region of “buoyant jet mixing”
Near-Field
Far-Field
• Time scales of seconds to
minutes
• Space scales of 1-m to 100-m
– Source properties dominate
mixing
• Far-field mixing
– Ambient conditions dominate
mixing
• Time scales of minutes to hours
• Space scales of 10-m to 1000-m
Side View
• Boundary Interaction
– Provides transitions from
near-field to far-field Mixing

Predictive Models for Mixing Processes
A) Complete Models
• Single domain with one set of governing equations
– Drawbacks
•
•
•
Numerical limitations
Turbulence Models
Boundary Conditions
• Fluent, Flow3D, STAR3D
B) Zone Models
• Divide domain into sub-regions with specific mixing processes
– Allows use of simplified equations
• Jet Integral Models
• Mixing Zone Expert System - CORMIX
CORMIX Models
3-5
Near-field Models
• Jet integral models
– Integrate dynamic terms along trajectory, across cross-sectional plane
•
simple ordinary differential equations
– empirical equations for turbulence closure: rate of entrainment, ambient
drag force, and frontal spreading velocity
– fast & easy
•
BUT: infinite, steady ambient waters (no boundary interactions)
• Mixing zone models (CORMIX)
– Amplifications for boundary interaction, unstable near-field, buoyant
spreading, passive diffusion
– full range of discharge geometries and ambient conditions
– boundary interaction, buoyant spreading and passive diffusion
– few parameters
• easy input, fast calculations, no calibration
– Limits: only simple reversals, 1st order decay, single source
CORMIX Models

Far-field Models
Eulerian hydrodynamics and transport models
•
•
•
•
•
Solve unsteady, baroclinic, shallow water equations in 3D (hydrostatic)
Orthogonal curvilinear co-ordinates
Terrain-following, sigma - coordinate system
k-ε turbulence closure
Water quality module: Mancini model for coliform inactivation
Limits
• Far-Field model ignores dominant NF processes or treats them
superficially
• Spatial and temporal resolution limited by calculation power
• Difficult to match boundary / initial conditions, shear turbulence

Why An ”Expert” or ”Rule Based” System?
• Data Driven System – specify data, system selects the model
• Proper model choice
• Correct model application
• Guides in data acquisition
• Addresses CREM guidelines - http://epa.gov/osp/crem.htm
• Flexible:
–
–
Screening of alternatives
Switch to other models
• Continuous update of knowledge base
• Documented analysis
–
Not a ”black box”
• Common Framework
–
–
Regulator
Applicant
• Design System
• Advanced CAD 3-D Graphics tools (e.g. Figures 3-1, 3-2, 3-4)
• Teaching environment
–
Adapts to user
