Abstract
The percolation characteristics of hard-sphere (HS) and Lennard-Jones (LJ) fluids are determined by molecular dynamics computer simulations. The LJ percolation threshold is raised in the hard-core limit and lowered in the soft-core limit when compared with the equivalent hard-sphere fluid, using a temperature-dependent effective hard-sphere diameter. This difference in the soft-core limit increases as T to Tc. The values for two percolation exponents are close to the values for random static percolation.Keywords
