Abstract

The two-dimensional percolation problem with elliptical objects was studied theoretically using Monte Carlo simulation. The percolation-threshold number of ellipses was compared for the lattice model and the random-position (continuum) model, and a semi-lattice model was also introduced as a bridge between the two limiting models. The results showed a gradual transition from the lattice model to the random-position model when the positional disorder of the particles was increased. A similar transition was observed when the lattice was refined and the site-occupation probability was simultaneously decreased.
