We consider the infiltration of a wetting fluid into a homogeneous porous medium and the formation of preferential flow paths with saturation overshoots. These are caused by dynamic capillary pressure effects which can be modeled by the rate‐dependent approach of Hassanizadeh and Gray. To track the overshoot wave numerically, we propose an extended Heterogeneous Multiscale Method. In the approach, the rate‐dependent model takes the role of a microscale model. The algorithm is applied to several infiltration problems.
