Diffusion tortuosity in complex porous media from pore-scale numerical simulations

•Porosity-tortuosity relation of synthetic geometries based on three-dimensional Voronoi tessellations.•Effect of heterogeneity (in terms of large voids) on diffusion tortuosity.•Tortuosity of complex porous media including digitalized rock samples. Diffusive transport is an important mechanism of m...
