Abstract A new computer model of viscous fingering (VF) in a porous medium is presented. The simulation results show that the VF pattern is in agreement with the experimental results. The simulation on the sweep efficiency also agrees with experiment results. The surface fractal dimension as a function of viscous ratio is found.
