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
