Tortuosity

![Tortuosity calculation from an x-ray tomography reconstruction of a porous sandstone (the pores are shown):[10] the color represents the shortest distance within the pore space from the left limit of the image to any point in the pores. Comparing this distance to the straight-line distance shows that the tortuosity is about 1.5 for this sample.](/uploads/202502/17/lossy-page1-220px-Tortuosity_via_geodesic_distance_calculation.tif2222.jpg)
