An animated GIF of a laboratory study of a surface discharge into a tidal ambient.
Ambient current begins at 2 m/s right to left, then reverses. In tidal mode, CORMIX gives estimates of reduced dilution due to tidal re-entrainment. Minimum initial dilution generally occurs shortly after slack tide, when re-entrainment of the plume from the previous tidal cycle occurs. Laser Induced Fluorescent (LIF) images courtesy of J.

2. New product - CORMIX v7.0GTH


Our new product CORMIX v7.0GTH (ADVANCED TOOLS HYDRAULICS) - includes the new CorHyd module for multiport diffuser hydraulic design. You can use CorHyd to optimize multiport diffuser port velocity and head requirements using duckbill check valves.
CORMIX v7.0GTH gives you great new tools to comply with mixing zone regulations and the design of wastewater disposal systems.

3. Sediments, Drill Cuttings and Mud Discharge Modeling


The CORMIX v7.0 GTS (ADVANCED TOOLS SEDIMENTS) model includes new and updated features that will assist with Drill Cuttings and Mud Discharge Modeling for the offshore oil and gas industry.

A new graphics and plotting tool called CorPlot is included to obtain sediment deposition plots and values from CORMIX modeling results.

4. PSU/MixZon Sponsored Workshop in Portland,OR June 2011


Portland State University and MixZon will sponsor a CORMIX Mixing Model Workshop scheduled for June 14-15 2011. Applications to the workshop are now being accepted. Attendees are eligible for 16 Professional Development Hours (PDH).
Details about workshop sechdule, location, logistics, content, tuition fees, registration, and nearby hotels are published at the MixZon Training Web site.

Workshop space is limited and is expected to fill quickly, so early application to the workshop is strongly encouraged.

5. BrineDis Project Collaboration


CORMIX software has been updated and modified with new features and tools as part of the ongoing BrineDis project for Environmental planning, prediction and management of brine discharges from desalination plants.

6. Remote Sensing and Outfall Monitoring


With USEPA SBIR Phase II program support, MixZon Inc has developed an aerial remote sensing system for monitoring water quality at site scales. We have demonstrated the ability of our platform to obtain geo-referenced water quality data from point source mixing zones.

More details about the aerial remote sensing project and MixZon Inc's outfall monitoring services are available at the following MixZon websites:

7. OR DEQ IMD on Regulatory Mixing Zone


The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) OR DEQ has published its mixing zone guidance (officially known as the Regulatory Mixing Zone Internal Management Directive (IMD)) document.

The IMD went into effect on July 1, 2008.

OR DEQ now processes all completed and new permit applications received after this date under the guidelines contained in the IMD, as per their website. The OR DEQ IMD documents can be downloaded from OR DEQ, using the links below:
  1. Part 1: Allocating Regulatory Mixing Zones (PDF) - Download
  2. Part 2: Reviewing Mixing Zone Studies (PDF) - download
  3. Fact Sheet: RMZ IMD (PDF) - download
  4. Memo: Implementing Oregon's RMZ IMD (PDF) - download

8. New German CORMIX Website


The Institute for Hydromechanics at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany now has a CORMIX web site. You can obtain a German language translation through Systran.
