[For the entire collection see Zbl 0753.00022.] In the first part of the paper, the free boundary problems are considered as optimization problems with respect to the shape of the flow domain. After establishing that the free boundary condition in elasticity is equivalent to an optimality condition, the author shows in a similar way that the Euler equations for an ideal fluid and the corresponding free boundary condition can be obtained from an optimization problem. Similar considerations are made for viscous incompressible fluids. In the second part of the paper, an Euler-Lagrange formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations is utilised in order to elaborate a Newton-type method for determining the displacement of the free boundary. For the linearized problems, one presents the conjugate gradient method and the generalized minimum residual method.
