UDC 622.276

The author discusses the possibilities of studying 
filtration processes on the basis of an analysis of the entropy growth 
rate in the system in accordance with Prigogine's principle of minimum 
entropy production. Results of a study of the process of displacement 
of a liquid in a porous medium, the effect of surfactant additions 
on the process of displacement and isothermal flows, and the effect 
of natural magnetic fields on the characteristics of filtration flows 
are given.
