We discuss the recently established equivalence between the Laplacian growth in the limit of zero surface tension and the universal Whitham hierarchy known in soliton theory. This equivalence allows distinguishing a class of exact solutions of the Laplacian growth problem in the multiply connected case. These solutions correspond to finite-dimensional reductions of the Whitham hierarchy representable as equations of hydrodynamic type, which are solvable by the generalized hodograph method.
Mots-clés : Saffman–Taylor problem
Keywords: Laplacian growth, Whitham equations, Schwarz function.
