tortuosity_fd

tortuosity_fd(im, axis, solver=None)

Calculates the tortuosity of image in the specified direction.

Parameters:

• im (ndarray) – The binary image to analyze with True indicating phase of interest

• axis (int) – The axis along which to apply boundary conditions

Returns:

results – The following values are computed and returned as attributes:

Attribute	Description
tortuosity	Calculated using the effective_porosity as \(\tau = \frac{D_{AB}}{D_{eff}} \cdot \varepsilon\).
effective_porosity	Porosity of the image after applying trim_nonpercolating_paths. This removes disconnected voxels which cause singular matrices.
original_porosity	Porosity of the as-received the image
formation_factor	Found as \(D_{AB}/D_{eff}\).
concentration	An image containing the concentration values from the simulation.
