A simple model of two-phase flow in porous media is presented. A connection is made to statistical mechanics by applying capillary power as a constraint. Stochastic sampling is then used to test the validity of this approach. Good agreement is found between stochastic sampling and time stepping for flow-rates above a transition value.
