        abstract = {The mechanism of fluid leakage trough the free volume between rough surfaces in
contact is relevant in physics and in many engineering applications. In the present study, the
normal contact problem between randomly generated fractal rough surfaces is solved using the
boundary element method. Then, an algorithm for the evaluation of the network involved in
the percolation of fluid is proposed. Numerical results are synthetically collected in diagrams
relating the free volume involved in the percolation to the dimensionless statistical parameters
of the rough surface},
