State of the Art Mixing Zone Modeling System
Dear Friends:
CORMIX v8.0 has improved capabilities for drilling muds and cuttings discharge
modeling for offshore oil and gas drilling applications. The new version includes
an updated version of CorPlot which can be used to graph bottom sediment
deposition plots and other 2D graphics that help with the analysis of model results
from simulations of discharges during typical drilling operations. The model and
post processing capabilities have been updated and improved to be able to perform
time series analysis of varying ambient conditions usually encountered during such
offshore operations.
CORMIX v8.0GTR now has the capability to couple with a Far-Field model like
Delft-3D FLOW. The coupling allows for the dynamic linking of the two models,
communicating and running concurrently on different workstations/computers/
servers.
The CorHyd multiport diffuser design tool with advanced graphics and hydraulics
analysis has been updated to support most common wastewater discharges and
has been successfully used in several diffuser design projects.
The free CORMIX v8.0E evaluation version is available for immediate download
from our web site. This allows you to evaluate and explore CORMIX data
requirements, prediction capabilities and advanced features, before licensing a
commercial product.
You can rely on CORMIX to deliver the most dependable hydrodynamic predictions,
high quality 3D interactive graphics, extensive help and system documentation,
and ample quality assurance features. As always, CORMIX is backed by our expert
technical support.
Sincerely,
Robert L. Doneker, Ph.D., P.E.

New and Improved Features in CORMIX v8.0
CorPlot - 2D Graphs and Deposition Plots
CorPlot - bottom deposition plots of WBM Muds and Cuttings from example studies of offshore drilling
discharges under varying ambient current directions.
CORMIX v8.0 4
CorHyd - Internal Diffuser Hydraulics Model for Multiport Diffusers
CORMIX v8.0 5
Improved Rule Base and Hydrodynamics
New effluent specification allows for detailed mixing analysis of dense discharges such
as concentrates from desalination facilities. Improved hydrodynamics now account for
bottom density current mixing with sloping bathymetry, essential for coastal mixing
zone analysis.
Detailed ambient density and current profile specification is available, to account for
internally stratified flow layers for dense discharges. In addition, negatively buoyant
surface source configurations are allowed in Version 8.0.
CORMIX v8.0 6
Sediment Discharges, Drilling Muds and Cuttings
CORMIX v8.0 can simulate both water column v8.0 GTS models discharge sources
suspended solids concentrations and bottom with suspended sediment
deposit footprint sediment flux. The CorPlot tool
can then create 2D deposition plots.

Participants review the basic theory of mixing zone modeling from point source discharges;
explore new ways to schematize and extend range of model application; discover time
saving tips and techniques for advanced model application; learn to avoid benthic
ecological impacts with advanced outfall designs; comply with NPDES requirements for
conventional and toxic discharges. This course delivers technical training to engineers,
scientists, regulators, and consultants on mixing zone modeling for NPDES mixing zone
permits.
The course includes an introduction to theory of transport modeling, outfall design, and
mixing zone water quality management supported by extensive hands-on computer
exercises. Attendees will receive 1.6 CEU (Continuing Education Units) or 16 PDH
Professional Development Hours.
The workshop is taught by Dr. Robert L. Doneker, primary developer of the CORMIX
system.
MixZon can also provide a comprehensive training course on mixing zone modeling and
the CORMIX software at your location.
