  We model multi-dimensional two-phase flows of incompressible fluids in porous
media using generalized Forchheimer equations and the capillary pressure.
Firstly, we find a family of steady state solutions whose saturation and
pressure are radially symmetric and velocities are rotation-invariant. Their
properties are investigated based on relations between the capillary pressure,
each phase's relative permeability and Forchheimer polynomial. Secondly, we
analyze the linear stability of those steady states.
  The linearized system is derived and reduced to a parabolic equation for the
saturation. This equation has a special structure depending on the steady
states which we exploit to prove two new forms of the lemma of growth of
Landis-type in both bounded and unbounded domains. Using these lemmas,
qualitative properties of the solution of the linearized equation are studied
in details. In bounded domains, we show that the solution decays exponentially
in time. In unbounded domains, in addition to their stability, the solution
decays to zero as the spatial variables tend to infinity. The Bernstein
