• Tortuosity of porous media: Image analysis and physical simulation (2021, neutral): “Among them, tortuosity is a special parameter, which is not only used to explicitly describe the sinuosity and complexity of internal percolation paths but also to quantify transport properties of porous media (Clennell, 1997; Barrande et al., 2007; Ghanbarian et al., 2013).”
