MIXING ZONE / TOXIC DILUTION ZONE / AREA OF INTEREST PARAMETERS:
Toxic discharge = no
Water quality standard specified = yes
Water quality standard CSTD = 1 ppb
Regulatory mixing zone = no
Region of interest = 5792 m downstream
HYDRODYNAMIC CLASSIFICATION:
--------------------------
I FLOW CLASS = MU4 I
------------------------
This flow configuration applies to a layer corresponding to the full water
depth at the discharge site.
Applicable layer depth = water depth = 2.74 m
Limiting Dilution S = (QA/QO)+ 1.0 = 278.3
MIXING ZONE EVALUATION (hydrodynamic and regulatory summary):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
X-Y-Z Coordinate system:
Origin is located at the BOTTOM below the port/diffuser center:
213.36 m from the right bank/shore.
Number of display steps NSTEP = 50 per module.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEAR-FIELD REGION (NFR) CONDITIONS :
Note: The NFR is the zone of strong initial mixing. It has no regulatory
implication. However, this information may be useful for the discharge
designer because the mixing in the NFR is usually sensitive to the
discharge design conditions.
Pollutant concentration at NFR edge c = 0.7278 ppb
Dilution at edge of NFR s = 13.7
NFR Location: x = 27.43 m
(centerline coordinates) y = 114.37 m
z = 2.74 m
NFR plume dimensions: half -width (bh) = 22.14 m
thickness (bv) = 2.74 m
Cumulative travel time: 458.3663 sec.
WARNING:
The LIMITING DILUTION (given by ambient flow/discharge ratio) is = 0
This value is below the computed dilution of 13.74 at the end of the
Near Field Region (NFR). Mixing for this discharge configuration is
constrained by the ambient flow.
Please carefully review the prediction file for additional warnings and information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buoyancy assessment:
The effluent density is less than the surrounding ambient water
density at the discharge level.
Therefore, the effluent is POSITIVELY BUOYANT and will tend to rise towards
the surface.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Near-field instability behavior:
The diffuser flow will experience instabilities with full vertical mixing
in the near -field.
There may be benthic impact of high pollutant concentrations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAR-FIELD MIXING SUMMARY:
Plume becomes vertically fully mixed ALREADY IN NEAR -FIELD at 0 m
downstream and continues as vertically mixed into the far -field.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLUME BANK CONTACT SUMMARY:
Plume in bounded section does not contact bank.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNSTEADY TIDAL ASSESSMENT:
Because of the unsteadiness of the ambient current during the tidal
reversal, CORMIX predictions have been TERMINATED at:
x = 10.82 m
y = 45.10 m
z = 1.21 m.
For this condition AFTER TIDAL REVERSAL, mixed water from the previous
half -cycle becomes re -entrained into the near field of the discharge,
increasing pollutant concentrations compared to steady-state predictions.
A pool of mixed water formed at slack tide will be advected downstream
in this phase.
************************ TOXIC DILUTION ZONE SUMMARY ************************
No TDZ was specified for this simulation.
REGULATORY MIXING ZONE SUMMARY *****•*+*+*+*+*+*+**.*+
No RMZ has been specified.
However:
The ambient water quality standard was encountered at the following
plume position:
Water quality standard = 1 ppb
Corresponding dilution s = 10.0
Plume location: x = 4.21 m
(centerline coordinates) y = 17.56 m
z = 0.84 m
Plume dimensions: half -width (bh) = 15.01 m
thickness (bv) = 0.84 m
********************* FINAL DESIGN ADVICE AND COMMENTS **********************
CORMIX2 uses the TWO-DIMENSIONAL SLOT DIFFUSER CONCEPT to represent
the actual three-dimensional diffuser geometry. Thus, it approximates
the details of the merging process of the individual jets from each
port/nozzle.
In the present design, the spacing between adjacent ports/nozzles
(or riser assemblies) is of the order of, or less than, the local
water depth so that the slot diffuser approximation holds well.
Nevertheless, if this is a final design, the user is advised to use a
final CORMIXI (single port discharge) analysis, with discharge data
for an individual diffuser jet/plume, in order to compare to
the present near -field prediction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REMINDER: The user must take note that HYDRODYNAMIC MODELING by any known
technique is NOT AN EXACT SCIENCE.
Extensive comparison with field and laboratory data has shown that the
CORMIX predictions on dilutions and concentrations (with associated
plume geometries) are reliable for the majority of cases and are accurate
to within about +-50o (standard deviation).
As a further safeguard, CORMIX will not give predictions whenever it judges
the design configuration as highly complex and uncertain for prediction.

Region of interest = 3353 m downstream
HYDRODYNAMIC CLASSIFICATION:
--------------------------
I FLOW CLASS = MU4 I
------------------------
This flow configuration applies to a layer corresponding to the full water
depth at the discharge site.
Applicable layer depth = water depth = 2.13 m
Limiting Dilution S = (QA/QO)+ 1.0 = 155.8
MIXING ZONE EVALUATION (hydrodynamic and regulatory summary):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
X-Y-Z Coordinate system:
Origin is located at the BOTTOM below the port/diffuser center:
91.44 m from the right bank/shore.
Number of display steps NSTEP = 50 per module.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEAR-FIELD REGION (NFR) CONDITIONS :
Note: The NFR is the zone of strong initial mixing. It has no regulatory
implication. However, this information may be useful for the discharge
designer because the mixing in the NFR is usually sensitive to the
discharge design conditions.
Pollutant concentration at NFR edge c = 0.7327 ppb
Dilution at edge of NFR s = 13.6
NFR Location: x = 24.38 m
(centerline coordinates) y = 116.19 m
z = 2.13 m
NFR plume dimensions: half -width (bh) = 22.38 m
thickness (bv) = 2.13 m
Cumulative travel time: 515.6620 sec.
WARNING:
The LIMITING DILUTION (given by ambient flow/discharge ratio) is = 0
This value is below the computed dilution of 13.65 at the end of the
Near Field Region (NFR). Mixing for this discharge configuration is
constrained by the ambient flow.
Please carefully review the prediction file for additional warnings and information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buoyancy assessment:
The effluent density is less than the surrounding ambient water
density at the discharge level.
Therefore, the effluent is POSITIVELY BUOYANT and will tend to rise towards
the surface.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Near-field instability behavior:
The diffuser flow will experience instabilities with full vertical mixing
in the near -field.
There may be benthic impact of high pollutant concentrations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAR-FIELD MIXING SUMMARY:
Plume becomes vertically fully mixed ALREADY IN NEAR -FIELD at 0 m
downstream and continues as vertically mixed into the far -field.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLUME BANK CONTACT SUMMARY:
Plume in bounded section does not contact bank.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNSTEADY TIDAL ASSESSMENT:
Because of the unsteadiness of the ambient current during the tidal
reversal, CORMIX predictions have been TERMINATED at:
x = 13.69 m
y = 65.24 m
z = 1.07 m.
For this condition AFTER TIDAL REVERSAL, mixed water from the previous
half -cycle becomes re -entrained into the near field of the discharge,
increasing pollutant concentrations compared to steady-state predictions.
A pool of mixed water formed at slack tide will be advected downstream
in this phase.
************************ TOXIC DILUTION ZONE SUMMARY ************************

REGULATORY MIXING ZONE SUMMARY *****•*+*+*+*+*+*+**.*+
No RMZ has been specified.
However:
The ambient water quality standard was encountered at the following
plume position:
Water quality standard = 1 ppb
Corresponding dilution s = 10.0
Plume location: x = 5.27 m
(centerline coordinates) y = 25.10 m
z = 0.84 m
Plume dimensions: half -width (bh) = 15.59 m
thickness (bv) = 1.05 m
********************* FINAL DESIGN ADVICE AND COMMENTS **********************
CORMIX2 uses the TWO-DIMENSIONAL SLOT DIFFUSER CONCEPT to represent
the actual three-dimensional diffuser geometry. Thus, it approximates
the details of the merging process of the individual jets from each
port/nozzle.
In the present design, the spacing between adjacent ports/nozzles
(or riser assemblies) is of the order of, or less than, the local
water depth so that the slot diffuser approximation holds well.
Nevertheless, if this is a final design, the user is advised to use a
final CORMIXI (single port discharge) analysis, with discharge data
for an individual diffuser jet/plume, in order to compare to
the present near -field prediction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REMINDER: The user must take note that HYDRODYNAMIC MODELING by any known
technique is NOT AN EXACT SCIENCE.
Extensive comparison with field and laboratory data has shown that the
CORMIX predictions on dilutions and concentrations (with associated
plume geometries) are reliable for the majority of cases and are accurate
to within about +-50o (standard deviation).
As a further safeguard, CORMIX will not give predictions whenever it judges
the design configuration as highly complex and uncertain for prediction.

MIXING ZONE / TOXIC DILUTION ZONE / AREA OF INTEREST PARAMETERS:
Toxic discharge = no
Water quality standard specified = yes
Water quality standard CSTD = 1 ppb
Regulatory mixing zone = no
Region of interest = 3050 m downstream
HYDRODYNAMIC CLASSIFICATION:
--------------------------
I FLOW CLASS = MU4 I
------------------------
This flow configuration applies to a layer corresponding to the full water
depth at the discharge site.
Applicable layer depth = water depth = 1.83 m
Limiting Dilution S = (QA/QO)+ 1.0 = 118.3
MIXING ZONE EVALUATION (hydrodynamic and regulatory summary):
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
X-Y-Z Coordinate system:
Origin is located at the BOTTOM below the port/diffuser center:
54.86 m from the right bank/shore.
Number of display steps NSTEP = 50 per module.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NEAR-FIELD REGION (NFR) CONDITIONS :
Note: The NFR is the zone of strong initial mixing. It has no regulatory
implication. However, this information may be useful for the discharge
designer because the mixing in the NFR is usually sensitive to the
discharge design conditions.
Pollutant concentration at NFR edge c = 0.7789 ppb
Dilution at edge of NFR s = 12.8
NFR Location: x = 22.86 m
(centerline coordinates) y = 135.55 m
z = 1.83 m
NFR plume dimensions: half -width (bh) = 24.85 m
thickness (bv) = 1.83 m
Cumulative travel time: 515.6620 sec.
WARNING:
The LIMITING DILUTION (given by ambient flow/discharge ratio) is = 0
This value is below the computed dilution of 12.84 at the end of the
Near Field Region (NFR). Mixing for this discharge configuration is
constrained by the ambient flow.
Please carefully review the prediction file for additional warnings and information.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Buoyancy assessment:
The effluent density is less than the surrounding ambient water
density at the discharge level.
Therefore, the effluent is POSITIVELY BUOYANT and will tend to rise towards
the surface.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Near-field instability behavior:
The diffuser flow will experience instabilities with full vertical mixing
in the near -field.
There may be benthic impact of high pollutant concentrations.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAR-FIELD MIXING SUMMARY:
Plume becomes vertically fully mixed ALREADY IN NEAR -FIELD at 0 m
downstream and continues as vertically mixed into the far -field.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
PLUME BANK CONTACT SUMMARY:
Plume in bounded section does not contact bank.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
UNSTEADY TIDAL ASSESSMENT:
Because of the unsteadiness of the ambient current during the tidal
reversal, CORMIX predictions have been TERMINATED at:
x = 13.69 m
y = 81.18 m
z = 0.91 m.
For this condition AFTER TIDAL REVERSAL, mixed water from the previous
half -cycle becomes re -entrained into the near field of the discharge,
increasing pollutant concentrations compared to steady-state predictions.
A pool of mixed water formed at slack tide will be advected downstream
in this phase.

z = 0.81 m
Plume dimensions: half -width (bh) = 16.69 m
thickness (bv) = 1.22 m
********************* FINAL DESIGN ADVICE AND COMMENTS **********************
CORMIX2 uses the TWO-DIMENSIONAL SLOT DIFFUSER CONCEPT to represent
the actual three-dimensional diffuser geometry. Thus, it approximates
the details of the merging process of the individual jets from each
port/nozzle.
In the present design, the spacing between adjacent ports/nozzles
(or riser assemblies) is of the order of, or less than, the local
water depth so that the slot diffuser approximation holds well.
Nevertheless, if this is a final design, the user is advised to use a
final CORMIXI (single port discharge) analysis, with discharge data
for an individual diffuser jet/plume, in order to compare to
the present near -field prediction.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
REMINDER: The user must take note that HYDRODYNAMIC MODELING by any known
technique is NOT AN EXACT SCIENCE.
Extensive comparison with field and laboratory data has shown that the
CORMIX predictions on dilutions and concentrations (with associated
plume geometries) are reliable for the majority of cases and are accurate
to within about +-50o (standard deviation).
As a further safeguard, CORMIX will not give predictions whenever it judges
the design configuration as highly complex and uncertain for prediction.
