A shape optimization problem for incompressible flows within a stabilized finite element framework is studied. The goal is to develop and test numerical realizations of optimal shape design problems that could be applied to non‐trivial industrial problems. The resulting algorithm is applied to the optimization of the geometry of a tapered header in a paper machine headbox. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
