No @Kevin,
Tortuosity is actually greater than Sinuosity.

Degree of Sinuosity : the ratio of curved length and straight axial distance.
Tortuosity: the ratio of curved length along the river to the direct axial length of river.

A river's sinuosity is its tendency to move back and forth across its floodplain, in an S-shaped pattern, over time. As the stream meanders across the flood plain, it may leave behind scars of where the river channel once was.

Sinuosity is the ratio between distance covered by the meander and the straight line distance covered by the meander. It runs from 1.0 for a completely straight river, to 1.5 for a typical meandering river, up to 3.0+ for a twisting course.
