    This paper provides information on a self-consistent model of an anomalously slow relaxation of nonwetting liquid–nanoporous medium systems with a random size distribution of pores, which introduces changes in interaction between local liquid cluster configurations in the process of liquid outflow from the porous medium. A self-consistent equation was deduced, the solution of which determines a functional connection of porous medium filling degree or time 𝜃(t)θ(t). It is shown that the anomalously slow relaxation is presented as a process of decay of interacting local metastable configurations, initialized by thermal fluctuations. As time increments, relaxation acceleration takes place with subsequent avalanche fluid outflow from the porous medium, which is connected with interaction decrease between local configurations. The dependence of the fraction of volume of liquid remaining in a porous medium changes by the power law 𝜃(t)tα(T,t)θ(t)tα(T,t). It is shown that for a system of water–L23 at the initial stage in the time range of 10s<t<103s10s<t<103s, an index assumes a constant value αconst(T)αconst(T), while at the following stage the acceleration of relaxation and the increase of parameter α(T,t)α(T,t) are observed.
