The boundary integral equation method is formulated for and applied to problems concerning a moving interface between two fluids in porous media. The mixing between two fluids is assumed to be insignificant; a sharp interface exists between them. Numerical and experimental results are presented for the tilting of a vertical interface in a Hele‐Shaw cell. During the initial stage of the interfacial movement, nonlinear effects are clearly demonstrated. The BIEM results are also compared to experimental results for a transient salt water intrusion problem.
