| 1. | Fractal dimension has been used to quantify tortuosity.
|
| 2. | However, it is well known that tortuosity is not only a function of porosity.
|
| 3. | Then the arc-chord ratio for each part is found and the tortuosity is estimated by:
|
| 4. | This would imply that roughness ( or tortuosity ) could be measured by relative change of curvature.
|
| 5. | However, several ways to adapt methods estimating tortuosity in 2-D have also been tried.
|
| 6. | Intuitively, correlations of this form are a better model since it incorporates tortuosity information through F.
|
| 7. | In pharmaceutical sciences, tortuosity is used in relation to diffusion-controlled release from solid dosage forms.
|
| 8. | Higher tortuosity or curviness retards mass transfer as it acts obstructively on the drug particles within the formulation.
|
| 9. | By assuming that the tortuosity \ tau is proportional to \ Phi ^ { 1-b }.
|
| 10. | Strictly speaking, however, the effective diffusivity is proportional to the reciprocal of the square of the geometrical tortuosity
