Abstract: We study here a space filling tiling generated by random non-overlapping packing of discs. To place the nth disc we randomly choose a point in the empty pore space of the n−1 discs and place a disc with the centre at this point and touching the nearest disc. We measure the fractal dimension of the pore space left in the asymptotic limit for these space filling patterns.
