... tortuosity estimates to the well-log domain for depth-by-depth assessment of tortuosity and permeability. The objectives of this paper are (a) to quantify hydraulic and electrical tortuosity in the pore-scale domain in the presence of microporosity, (b) to quantify the impacts of hydraulic and electrical...

... electrical parameter. The present work reviews the current understanding of hydraulic and electrical tortuosity. The study then attempts to define acoustic tortuosity on generalized principles. It tries to understand the conceptual interdependence of different tortuosity and studies its variability on other...

... phases. Then, we conduct numerical simulations of electric potential distribution in conjunction with streamline tracing techniques to quantify the electrical tortuosity of the continuous phase in each cartesian direction. We employed the tortuosity distribution values in each direction as a measure...

... formation evaluation from logs. The concept of electricaltortuosity can be used to understand conductivity models such as Archie's equation. However, the electrical tortuosity, as a factor relating pore geometry and conductivity, is ambiguous in that the pore geometry cannot be inferred from the tortuosity...
