Abstract  The percolation clusters with varying occupy probability were constructed in this paper. Viscous fingering (VF) in percolation cluster, based on the assumption that bond radii are Rayleigh distribution, is investigated by means of successive over-relaxation technique. The fractal dimension for VF in percolation cluster is calculated. The result shows that it can increase fractal dimension of VF as increase of percolation probability of reduce of viscous ratio. VF's fractal dimension of porous media in the limit viscous ratio →$\infty$ is found to be identical with that in diffusion limited-aggregation. We have found that the topology and the geometry of the porous medium have strong effects on the displacement processes and the structure of the VF. We find that the sweep efficiency of the displacement processes mainly depends upon the length of the network system and also on the viscosity ratio. Moreover, the fractional flow of injected fluid as a function of mean saturation is obtained.
