Estimation of air permeability function from soil-water characteristic curve (2015, background): “Vervoort and Cattle (2003) recommended that effect on the water/air permeability due to tortuosity and pores connectivity could be quantified using lwwS and laaS (where, Sw= water degree of saturation, Sa = air degree of saturation, lw = tortuosity-connectivity parameter for water and la =…”
The effects of diffusion mechanism and void structure on transport rates and tortuosity factors in complex porous structures (2004, unknown): “The signi6cant impact of pore size and connectivity on measured tortuosities was previously described (Carniglia, 1986; Latour et al., 1995; Lorenzano-Porras et al., 1994; Portsmouth and Gladden, 1992; Salmas and Androutsopoulos, 2001; Vervoort and Cattle, 2002).”
Tortuosity of porous media: Image analysis and physical simulation (2021, unknown): “Microstructural features such as the shape, size, orientation and spatial distribution of grains and pores all affect the tortuosity of porous media (Vervoort and Cattle, 2003), but most phenomenological models rely mainly on the porosity (Shen and Chen, 2007; Ghanbarian et al., 2013).”
