CORMIX System Documentation

CORMIX provides complete documentation of flow behavior, regulatory mixing zone compliance, and advice for design optimization. In additon to the reports discusses below, other systems provide outfall visualization, 3-D graphical display of regulatory mixing zones, and design optimization.

These reports include:

  • Processing Record: This file reports a preliminary assessment of the physical processes which will control mixing behavior. It includes messages from the rule base about data consistency, modeling assumptions, and parameters and length scales used to analyze the flow. It concludes by assigning a flow classification and then executing a simulation.
  • Summary Report: This report provides a concise summary of flow characteristics including regulatory mixing zone compliance, boundary interaction behavior, and density current properties.
  • Prediction File: This report gives details of the simulation flow modules executed for the given flow classification and discharge/environment parameters.
  • Flow Class Description: This file reports the qualitative aspects of mixing behavior, including an analysis of discharge stability and bottom interaction for benthic ecological impacts.
  • Design Recommendations: This file gives advice for modification of CORMIX1, CORMIX2, and CORMIX3 input parameters for sensitivity analysis and design optimization. When used in conjunction with CorSens, this report provides a powerful basis for advanced mixing zone analysis.
  • Ambient Rule Base Browser: This report gives a graphical representation of the rules used in determination of consistent and complete specification of ambient parameters.
  • Discharge Rule Base Browser: This report gives a graphical representation of the rules used in determination of consistent and complete specification of discharge parameters.
  • Mixing Zones Rule Base Browser: This report gives a graphical representation of the rules used in determination of consistent and complete specification of mixing zone parameters.
  • Parameters Rule Base Browser: This report gives a graphical representation of the rules used in determination of consistent and complete set of discharge and ambient parameters and calculation of length scales.
  • Flow Classification Rule Base Browser: This report gives a graphical representation of the rules used in determination of flow classification for a given discharge/environment combination.
  • Summary Rule Base Browser: This report gives a graphical representation of the rules used in determination of consistent and complete report of mixing zone behavior, including details of regulatory mixing zone requirements.
