Abstract
The authors evaluate numerically the percolation threshold of a 3D assembly of widthless monodisperse discs (radius R, number per unit volume N) in terms of the quasi-invariant NR. The value obtained is consistent with previous estimates. This model should apply to the permeability problem of fractured rocks.Keywords
