This paper presents a numerical method for shape optimization of a body immersed in an incompressible viscous flow governed by Stokes–Oseen equations. The purpose of this work is to optimize the shape that minimizes a given cost functional. Based on the continuous adjoint method, the shape gradient of the cost functional is derived by involving a Lagrangian functional with the function space parametrization technique. Then, a gradient-type algorithm is applied to the shape optimization problem. The numerical examples indicate the proposed algorithm is feasible and effective in low Reynolds number flow. Copyright
