A method developed earlier for solving numerically the one-dimensional Buckley--Leverett equation for two phase immiscible flow in a porous medium is extended to the case of non-uniform flow in two space dimensions. The method has the feature of tracking solution discontinuities sharply for purely hyperbolic problems, without requiring devices such as the introduction of artificial dissipation. It is found that the method is computationally efficient for solving a numerical example for the five-spot configuration of water flooding of a petroleum reservoir.
