Abstract
In this paper the authors discuss a numerical technique for simulating a formation process of electric discharge path by means of a percolation process. Since the theory of percolation process issued for treating the connection of superstructure points, this technique gives an explanation that the simulated discharge path is permeating in the electric fields. The application of this technique to electlic fields is considered by analyzing the distribution of discharge path glowing at the surface of a dielectric plate. Finally, it is concluded that the distribution of surface discharge is analogous to the geometric patterns created by the percolation process.
