Evaluation of geometric tortuosity for 3D digitally generated porous media considering the pore size distribution and the A-star algorithm

Abstract Porous materials are of great interest in multiple applications due to their usefulness in energy conversion devices and their ability to modify structural and diffusive properties. Geometric tortuosity plays an important role in characterizing the complexity of a porous medium. The literat...
