    Tortuosity - Wikipedia

    • Tortuosity is widely used as a critical parameter to predict transport properties of porous media, such as rocks and soils. But unlike other standard microstructural properties, the concept of tortuosity is vague with multiple definitions and various evaluation methods introduced in different contexts. Hydraulic, electrical, diffusional, and thermal tort… See more

    Tortuosity in 2-D

    Tortuosity in 3-D

    Usually subjective estimation is used. However, several ways to adapt methods estimating tortuosity in 2-D have also been tried. The methods include arc-chord ratio, arc-chord ratio divided by number of inflection p… See more

    Tortuosity: A brief review - ScienceDirect
    Tortuosity influences flux transport in porous media. The attempt to obtain this tortuosity with more precision is the subject of several research. Thus, mass transport depends on this tortuosity of the porosity of the materials. Although several definitions can be found, the objective of this work ...

    Packing Fraction, Tortuosity, and Permeability of Granular-Porous Media With Densely Packed Spheroidal Particles: Monodisperse and Polydisperse Systems
    The geometrical and topological configurations of particles have great influences on their surrounding pore tortuosity and the permeability of granular-porous media. In this work, we develop a relaxation iteration scheme to create random dense packings of different anisotropic-shaped spheroidal part...

    Predicting porosity, permeability, and tortuosity of porous media from images by deep learning
    Transport in porous media is ubiquitous: from the neuro-active molecules moving in the brain extracellular space1,2, water percolating through granular soils3 to the mass transport in the porous electrodes of the Lithium-ion batteries4 used in hand-held electronics. The research in porous media conc...

    A plugin for computing the pore/grain network tortuosity of a porous medium from 2D/3D MicroCT image☆
    Tortuosity is an important geometrical parameter of the pore or grain network in a porous medium. Here we present and discuss an implementation of a plugin to estimate the pore/grain network tortuosity of a porous medium sample. The tortuosity is estimated according to the geometric reconstruction a...
