Abstract: We report Monte Carlo simulations of the conductivity of a two-dimensional static system of non-overlapping, non- or weakly conducting discs in a conducting medium. The conductivity is evaluated using the “blind ant” diffusion algorithm. We investigate the dependence of the conductivity on (i) the size, (ii) the area fraction and (iii) the conductivity of the discs.
