Tortuosity refers to the degree of twisting or winding in a path or structure. It is commonly used in various fields, including biology, geology, and fluid dynamics, to describe the complexity of pathways, such as those found in the structure of blood vessels, the arrangement of porous media, or the routes taken by fluids through a medium. In a biological context, tortuosity might refer to the intricate paths that blood vessels or nerve fibers take as they navigate through tissues.
