Efficient measurement of the percolation threshold for fully penetrable discs
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the percolation threshold for fully penetrable discs by measuring the average location of the frontier for a statistically inhomogeneous distribution of fully penetrable discs. We use two different algorithms to efficiently simulate the frontier, including the continuum analogue of an algorithm previously used for gradient percolation on a square lattice. We find that φc = 0.676 339 ± 0.000 004, thus providing an extra significant digit of accuracy to this constant.

Percolation for a model of statistically inhomogeneous random media
We study clustering and percolation phenomena for a model of statistically inhomogeneous two-phase random media, including functionally graded materials. This model consists of inhomogeneous fully penetrable ~Poisson distributed! disks and can be constructed for any specified variation of volume fraction. We quantify the transition zone in the model, defined by the frontier of the cluster of di...
متن کاملPair connectedness and mean cluster size for continuum-percolation models: Computer-simulation results
We devise a new algorithm to obtain the pair-connectedness function Per) for continuumpercolation models from computer simulations. It is shown to converge rapidly to the infinitesystem limit, even near the percolation threshold, thus providing accurate estimates of Per) for a wide range of densities. We specifically consider an interpenetrable-particle model (referred to as the penetrable-conc...
متن کاملA model for modified electrode with carbon nanotube composites using percolation theory in fractal space
We introduce a model for prediction the behavior of electrodes which modified withcarbon nanotubes in a polymer medium. These kinds of polymer composites aredeveloped in recent years, and experimental data for its percolation threshold isavailable. We construct a model based on percolation theory and fractal dimensionsand using experimental percolation threshold for calculating the moments of c...
متن کاملOptimal percolation of disordered segregated composites.
We evaluate the percolation threshold values for a realistic model of continuum segregated systems, where random spherical inclusions forbid the percolating objects, modeled by hardcore spherical particles surrounded by penetrable shells, to occupy large regions inside the composite. We find that the percolation threshold is generally a nonmonotonous function of segregation, and that an optimal...

The Scaling Law for the Discrete Kinetic Growth Percolation Model The critical exponent of the total number of finite clusters α is calculated directly without using scaling hypothesis both below and above the percolation threshold pc based on a kinetic growth percolation model in two and three dimensions. Simultaneously, we can calculate other critical exponents β and γ, and show that the scal...
