Units of Measure

CORMIX uses metric SI units (MKS) in all internal calculations

CORMIX will automatically convert English/Mixed input units to metric SI equivalents

You can force input to SI with the pre-processing option “Convert to SI Units”

CORMIX reports only in SI units

3 -

4 significant digits is sufficient for most data

Density values may require up to 5 significant digits

Effluent TypesCORMIX allows you to predict 5 types of effluent discharges

1.

Conservative Pollutant: The pollutant does not undergo any decay/growth processes.

2.

Non-Conservative Pollutant : The pollutant undergoes a first order decay or growth process.

You need to specify the COEFFICIENT of decay (positive number) or growth (negative number) in units /day (per day).

3.

Heated Discharge: The discharge will experience heat loss to the atmosphere IF the plume contacts the water surface.

You need to specify the discharge condition in terms of EXCESS temperature ΔT above ambient in units oC, and the SURFACE TEMPERATURE

4.

Brines:

Coastal applications –

bottom slope controls trajectory

5. Sediments

Continuous pipeline dredge sources

Ambient Background Concentration

To account for background concentration in CORMIX –

Enter all concentration values as excess above ambient

E.G. Ambient concentration = 10 mgl Discharge concentration = 100 mglCMC=40 mgl; CCC = 15 mgl

Enter into CORMIX as C0

= 100 –

10 = 90 mglCMC = 40 –

10 = 30 mgl

CCC = 15 –

10 = 5 mgl

If CORMIX predicts concentration at x = 100 m is c= 12 mg/l–

Actual concentration would be 12+10=22 mgl

CMC and CCC values/messages will be reported correctly

Pollutant Growth / Decay

Non-conservative pollutants: Adaptation to First-Order Reaction Processes

Initial mixing mechanisms have very short time scale–

(order of minutes)

Usually much less than the typical reaction times for growth or decay of most discharged substances.

One must enter boundary information into CORMIX

Process called

Schematization

Assemble cross-section plots at several downstream locations

Ambient Density Specification

Ambient specified as fresh water or non-fresh

Important dynamic parameter is density not temperature

If fresh water and above 10 deg C, ambient temperature can be specified

Ambient density can be uniform or non-uniform–

Neutral, Positive or Negatively buoyant discharges

Up to 2 layer density profiles (CORMIX 1 & 2) –

Brine/Sediment discharges

Up to 3 layer density profiles (Brine & Sediment)–

CorJet allows any arbitrary density profile

Up to 10 layers

Ambient Density Specification

For CORMIX3 case, use an average density value–

Weighted towards surface density

If strong near -field is present, larger averaging depth should be input

Pycnocline height HINT must be specified for profiles B,C–

May cause plume trapping

Choice of pycnocline should be evaluated in a subsequent sensitivity study

Wind Effects on Mixing in CORMIX

Wind Effects•

Wind is unimportant for near-field mixing

Can critically affect plume behavior in the far-field•

Is non-directional within CORMIX

Wind effects on ambient surface velocity should be captured by schematization

The typical wind speed categories (measured at the 10 m level) are:–

Breeze: 0-3 m/s

Light wind: 3-15 m/s–

Strong wind: 15-30 m/s

Wind Effects on Mixing in CORMIX

If NO field wind data available:

2 m/s: RECOMMENDED value for conservative design conditions

0 m/s: Extreme low value–

Unrealistic for field conditions

Useful when comparing to laboratory data

15 m/s: Maximum value allowed in CORMIX

Wind speed Uw

Effects far-field mixing, for heated discharges

Is non-directional in CORMIX–

However wind direction may affect surface velocity field

Surface currents should be captured by schematization

Staged diffuser: all ports point in one direction along diffuser line, more or less horizontally

Alternating diffuser: ports do not point in single horizontal direction –

Imparts no net horizontal momentum

May point more or less horizontally in alternating directions–

May point vertically upwards

Processing Record Messages

Parameter messages shown in Processing RecordExamples:

”The effluent density (1000.45 kg/m^3) is greater that the surrounding water density at the discharge level (997.2 kg/m^3). Therefore, the effluent is negatively buoyant and will tend to sink towards the bottom”

STRONG BANK INTERACTION will occur for this perpendicular diffuser type due to its proximity to the bank (shoreline). The shoreline will act as a symmetry line for the diffuser flow field. The diffuser length and total flow variables are doubled (or approximately doubled, depending on the vicinity to the shoreline). All of the following length scales are computed on that basis”

”The specified two layer ambient density stratification is dynamically important. The discharge near field flow will be confined to the lower layer by the ambient density stratification. Furthermore, it may be trapped below the ambient density jump at the pycnocline.”

Hydrodynamic Simulation Modules•

CORMIX uses regional flow models

Distinct Series of ’hydrodynamic modules” are executed sequentially to simulate entire flow field for a given flow classification

Flow class descriptions give qualitative description of physical

mixing processes likely to be present for flow

FLOW CLASS V1A submerged buoyant effluent issues vertically or near-vertically from the discharge port. The discharge configuration is hydrodynamically “stable”, that is the discharge strength (measured by its momentum flux) is weak in relation to the layer

depth and in relation to the stabilizing effect of the discharge buoyancy (measured by its buoyancy flux).

The following flow zones exist:1) Weakly deflected jet in crossflow:

The flow is initially dominated by the effluent momentum (jet-like) and is weakly deflected by the ambient current.

2) Weakly deflected plume in crossflow: After some distance the discharge buoyancy becomes the dominating factor (plume-like). The plume deflection by the am-bient current is still weak.

Alternate possibility:Depending on the ratio of the jet to crossflow

length scale to the plume to crossflow

length scale the above zone may be replaced by a strongly deflected jet in crossflow:2) Strongly deflected jet in crossflow:

The jet has become strongly deflected by the ambient current.

V1 Flow Class Description

3) Strongly deflected plume in crossflow: The plume has been strongly deflected by the current and is slowly rising toward the surface

4) Layer boundary approach: The bent-over submerged jet/plume approaches the layer boundary (water surface or pycnocline). Within a short distance the concentration distribution becomes rela-tively uniform across the plume width and thickness.*The zones listed above constitute the NEAR-FIELD REGION in which strong initial mixing takes place. *

5) Buoyant spreading at layer boundary: The plume spreads laterally along the layer boundary (surface or

pycnocline) while it is being advected

by the ambient current. The plume thickness may de-crease during this phase. The mixing rate is relatively small. The plume may interact with a nearby bank or shoreline.

6) Passive ambient mixing: After some distance the background turbulence in the ambient shear flow becomes the dominating mixing mechanism. The passive plume is growing in

depth and in width. The plume may interact with the channel bottom and/or banks.

*** Predictions will be terminated in zone 5 or 6 depending on the definitions of the REGULA-TORY MIXING ZONE or the REGION OF INTEREST. ***
