description abstractA network of cracks pervading a rock is modeled by a random distribution of two-dimensional intersecting, complex, narrow cracks. The percolation properties of the resulting network are studied as functions of the crack-area density and size of the medium. Gas flow commences at a finite value of the crack density which in Arkansas Novaculite rocks amounts according to our model to 670 cracks per cm2 . The mean probability of finding at least one crack intersecting another is 0.57 at the threshold density. Above that, the rock gas-flow permeability increases superlinearly with crack density due to the enhancement of short percolative paths.
