Examples of tortuosity
tortuosity
Depending on the direction from which the ions hit the graphite plates, the tortuosity can be very high.
From the sciencedaily.com
The tortuosity of graphite electrodes might be improved through the use of round graphite particles.
From the sciencedaily.com
The brains of these less active patients had increased tortuosity produced by vessel elongation and wider expansion curves.
From the sciencedaily.com
To put it simply, the more twisted the path of the ions through the electrode, the more slowly the battery is charged or discharged and the greater the tortuosity.

- A tortuous and twisted shape or position; "they built a tree house in the tortuosities of its boughs"; "the acrobat performed incredible contortions"
- Tortuosity is a property of curve being (twisted; having many turns). There have been several attempts to quantify this property. Tortuosity is commonly used to describe diffusion in porous media . This concept is also used for porous media as soils and snow
- Related to the crookedness and meandering of a porous and permeable pathway. A measure determined by the ratio of the actual length of the porous and permeable pathway between two points to the straight line length.
