Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

This paper describes the process for the development of a mathematical model for an in situ uranium leaching method. A phased modelling process in MATLAB is conducted from the injection well to the ore body and from the ore body to the extraction well. Then a parametric identification of the injection and extraction wells is made, as well as the ore body itself. In addition, the hydraulic-resistance dependence of the bottom-hole zone on the flow rate of an injected solution in an injection well is determined and a technique is suggested for determination of the flow-pressure characteristics of the extraction well.
