| Radial shrinkage |
— |
Ratio of the difference between the sample initial radius (8 mm) and the equivalent radius of slice i at time t (Eulerian configuration) to the sample initial radius |
| Axial shrinkage |
— |
Ratio of the difference between the sample initial height (8 mm) and the height of slice i at time t (Eulerian configuration) to the sample initial height |
| Eulerian porosity |
— |
Ratio of the pore volume of slice i in the Eulerian configuration, to the total volume (pores and cells) of the slice i also in the Eulerian configuration (Fig. 3a) |
| Lagrangian porosity |
|
Ratio of the pore volume in slice i in the Lagrangian configuration, to the total volume (pores and cells) of the slice i in the initial configuration (Fig. 3a) |
| Lagrangian cell fraction |
— |
Ratio of the cell volume in slice i in the Lagrangian configuration, to the total volume (pores and cells) of the slice i in the initial configuration (Fig. 3a) |
| Cell sphericity |
|
A measure of how spherical an object (a cell) is. It is defined as the ratio of the surface area of a sphere (Asphere) with the same volume as the cell (Vcell) to the measured surface area of the cell (Acell) |
| Cell equivalent diameter |
μm |
Diameter of a sphere that has the same volume as the cell |
| Cell length |
μm |
Maximum Ferret diameter DF,max of a cell. The Feret diameter is the normal distance between two parallel tangent planes touching the particle surface.51 The maximum Feret diameter was determined by sampling over 31 angles |
| Cell elongation |
— |
Ratio of the maximum Ferret diameter DF,max to the smallest Ferret diameter DF,min orthogonal to it, as illustrated in Fig. 3c
|
| Pore equivalent diameter |
μm |
Diameter of a sphere that has the same volume as the pore |
