Abstract.

In this paper, an implicit numerical method for the three-dimensional fractional percolation equation without the assumption of continued and rigid body motion is proposed. Consistency, stability and convergence of the implicit finite difference method are established. Finally, some numerical examples are given. The numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of theoretical analysis.
