State of the Art Mixing Zone Modeling System
Dear Friends:
I am happy to announce the release of CORMIX v8.0 - the most comprehensive
software available for mixing zone modeling and analysis. Version 8.0 improves
and expands CORMIX features for wastewater outfall design, management, and
monitoring.
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.
Good luck and good mixing!
Sincerely,
Robert L. Doneker, Ph.D., P.E.

CorVue
New and improved graphics for interactive mixing
zone visualization are now available in CorVue.
This advanced tool allows you to easily assess
s
plume regulatory mixing zone behavior, visualize
e
boundary interactions and density current upstream
m
intrusions, and criteria such as RMZ, CMC, CCC,,
TDZ for efficient documentation of regulatory
y
compliance.
CorVue features include:
Improved output into jpeg, gif, bmp, png, tiff, ps
s
formats;
CORMIX v8.0
CorSpy
Unidirectional, Alternating, Staged diffusers; Beta, Theta, Gamma, Sigma confused
about diffuser configuration or specification? CorSpy can help!
This 3D diffuser visualization tool makes specification of complex multiport diffuser
geometry a snap. With CorSpy you can interactively view the discharge data you
specified in relation to the CORMIX x-y-z coordinate system and local boundaries.
CorSpy features include:
Near-surface and above-surface diffuser configurations;
Visualization of rosette design diffuser configurations;
Improved output into jpeg, gif, bmp, png, tiff, *ps formats;
Improved controls for boundaries, axis display, etc.;
Integrated on-line help manual.

CorHelp
CorHelp is an easy to use on-line help and user documentation system integrated into
the CORMIX user interface. From the simplest to the most complex questions find
answers in CorHelp quickly and easily.
CorHelp has been designed to include:
Tooltips and help pop-up windows in the CORMIX GUI;
User interface integrated on-line context-sensitive help;
Integrated on-line help manuals;
Integrated on-line CORMIX manual
CorDocs
Simplified on-line access to CorDocs hypertext CORMIX system documentation.
CorDocs is now hosted on-line and just a mouse click away no more large downloads
to install the documentation system. With CORMIX v8.0 you get instant web-based
access to the complete CORMIX1, CORMIX2, and CORMIX3 technical reports.
CORMIX v8.0
Benchmarks
Compare CORMIX/CorJet model performance to
laboratory data sets with emphasis on limiting
hydrodynamic cases for model benchmarking
analysis.
See how CORMIX compares with rigorous test cases.
This tool will help validate the models predictive
capability for single port CORMIX1 and CORMIX2
cases.
The CORMIX/CorJet Benchmarks site is accessible
online at http://www.mixzon.com/benchmark/

CorUCS
CorUCS is a new post-processing tool that will
convert CORMIX trajectory information in a
prediction file from the CORMIX coordinate system
to the coordinate system specified by the end user
using the outfall locations latitude and longitude
position (in WGS84 format). The inputs required
for the conversion are ambient current direction and
diffuser position relative to geographic North.
