| Abstract |
An expert system, CORMIX1, was developed to predict the dilution and trajectory of a single buoyant discharge into an unstratified aquatic environment with and without crossflow. The system uses knowledge and inference rules obtained from hydrodynamic experts to classify and predict buoyant jet mixing. CORMIX1 gathers the necessary data, checks for data consistency, assembles and executes the appropriate hydrodynamic simulation models, interprets the results of the simulation in terms of the legal requirements including toxic discharge criteria, and suggests design alternatives to improve dilution characteristics. The results of the hydrodynamic simulation are in good to excellent agreement with field and laboratory data. In particular, CORMIX1 correctly predicts highly complex discharge situations involving boundary interactions and buoyant intrusions, a result not predicted by other currently available initial mixing models. |
