We investigate the dynamics of viscous penetration in two-dimensional perco
lation networks at criticality for the case in which the ratio between the
viscosities of displaced and injected fluids is very large. We report exten
sive numerical simulations that indicate that the scaling exponents for the
breakthrough time distribution are the same as the previously reported val
ues computed for the case of unit viscosity ratio. Our results are consiste
nt with the possibility that viscous displacement through critical percolat
ion networks constitutes a single universality class, independent of the vi
scosity ratio. We also find that the distributions of mass and breakthrough
time of the invaded clusters have the same scaling form, but with differen
t critical exponents.
