How does CORMIX account for wind direction on plume trajectory and mixing?
A. In CORMIX, wind velocity specification is used for two purposes: • Wind velocity is used to adjust the heat exchange transfer rates for positively buoyant surface density current mixing for heated discharges. • Wind velocity is used to adjust the turbulence in the surface layer to account for increased mixing for positively buoyant surface density currents. Therefore, in general, wind is not a directional quantity within CORMIX, but is used to adjust density current mixing properties. The required CORMIX ambient schematization assumes a surface velocity field in only one direction. If winds affect the ambient velocity field direction, that information should be captured by your schematization, where the wind-induced ambient velocity direction is specified as the positive the x-axis direction. However, if you have directionally non-uniform ambient velocity profile and a stable CORMIX flow classification, then CorJet may be applied for detailed near-field turbulent buoyant jet mixing
