Abstract
The displacement of one fluid by a another fluid in a porous medium is a process of both scientific and practical importance. Depending on the displacement rates, viscosity ratios, irascibility, interfacial tensions and pore geometry a bewildering variety of displacement front behaviors arises. Lenormand1–4 has studied many of the regimes observed under various conditions during two-fluid displacement processes in micromodels of porous media.

Scaling functions which vanish both at small and large arguments were seen before [Kolb M., and Herrmann H. J., J. Phys. A 18, L435 (1985)] in other problems, but they have not been analyzed for power law behavior.
