State of the Art Mixing Zone Modeling System
Dear Friends:
CORMIX v9.0 has improved capabilities for modeling drilling muds and cuttings
discharges from offshore oil and gas operations. The new version includes an
updated CorPlot tool which can be used to graph bottom sediment deposition
plots and other 2D/3D 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 depth varying ambient conditions usually encountered during
such offshore operations.
CORMIX v9.0GTR has now been updated to dynamically 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 computers.
The CorHyd multiport diffuser design tool with advanced graphics and hydraulics
analysis has been updated to support most common wastewater discharges,
including vertical multiport diffuser designs.
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.

CORMIX v9.0 3
New and Improved Features in CORMIX v9.0
CorPlot - 2D/3D 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 v9.0 4
CorHyd - Internal Diffuser Hydraulics Model for Multiport Diffusers
CORMIX v9.0 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 9.0.
CORMIX v9.0 6
Sediment Discharges, Drilling Muds and Cuttings
CORMIX v9.0 can simulate both water column CORMIX - GTS models discharge
suspended solids concentrations and bottom sources with suspended sediment
deposit “footprint” sediment flux. The CorPlot tool
can then create 2D deposition plots.

My Account
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. The online training sessions are hosted by Dr. Robert L. Doneker, the 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.
