A mathematical model of tortuosity in soil considering particle arrangement

Abstract Tortuosity is an important parameter for studying the permeability of soil. Existing studies of soil tortuosity are usually of empirical nature and attempt to relate tortuosity to soil porosity alone. By assuming a laminar flow through the pores of two‐dimensional square solid particles, we...
