The solution of the Buckley-Leverett problem classical for the theory of flow through a porous medium, generalized to the case of two-phase flows in fractured-porous media, is considered. In this case, immiscible displacement of fluid in the porous medium is complicated by the absence of local capillary equilibrium between pore spaces of different scales and in the generic case the solution of problem is not self-similar. The flow through a porous medium is considered in the limiting case of large time scales when capillary equilibrium is established and the flow parameter distributions, as shown in the study, tend to self-similar asymptotics. For the effective ordinary porous medium the average equations of equilibrium flow through the porous medium which describe these asymptotics are obtained
