Как считается эта оценка

Складывается из проверяемых признаков самой записи: есть ли у статьи DOI, сколько независимых источников подтвердили её данные, заполнены ли обязательные поля и насколько свежо последнее подтверждение. Снижают оценку расхождения между источниками и отсутствие идентификатора. Значение от 80 означает, что запись опубликована без дополнительной проверки; от 60 до 79 — что она опубликована с пониженной достоверностью и ручная проверка желательна. Запись, выверенную редактором вручную, пересчёт не опускает ниже 90. Это оценка наших данных о статье, а не оценка самой статьи.

Abstract The results of the first gyrokinetic calculations of anomalous heat fluxes in the T-10 tokamak plasma obtained for typical conditions of a discharge no. 71 568 with ohmic heating are presented. The calculations have been performed at the Kurchatov Institute Supercomputer Center. The experimentally measured electron density and temperature profiles, ion temperature profiles with a large gradient leading to the so-called ion temperature gradient (ITG) turbulence, and also the profiles of carbon and oxygen impurity densities measured using the charge exchange recombination spectroscopy (CXRS) active diagnostics are used as input data. The “experimental” electron and ion heat fluxes are estimated from the heat balance condition using the ASTRA transport code. The analytical dependence of heat fluxes on the effective plasma charge is presented. Gyrokinetic calculations of anomalous electron and ion heat fluxes are performed for the T-10 tokamak for the first time. The well-known gyrokinetic GENE code is used in the so-called linear and nonlinear approximation with fixed density and temperature gradients taking into account the influence of carbon and oxygen impurities. A linear dependence of heat fluxes on the effective plasma charge is found, and the sensitivity of the results to input parameter errors is investigated. The results of gyrokinetic calculations for the T-10 tokamak are compared with the results obtained for facilities with similar input parameters. A comparison is made of gyrokinetic calculations of heat fluxes performed using the GENE code with the results of calculations by the CONTRA-T code, intended for the self-consistent simulation of low-frequency turbulence and transport processes in tokamaks with a large aspect ratio. Good agreement obtained in the work between the results of transport calculations using the ASTRA, GENE, and CONTRA-T codes based on various transport models for the ohmic discharge of the T-10 tokamak with a circular cross section, provides grounds for the further simulation of transport processes in plasma with additional heating and a more complex cross section shape of the plasma column.
