It would be of interest to engineers and scientists to know the shape of the body of a given volume that will have minimum drag when moving through a viscous fluid at constant speed. It would be extremely useful if one could devise an evolution procedure that can evolve the minimum drag body in a logical and an orderly manner. Such a procedure was suggested by Pironneau for laminar flow wherein optimality conditions derived using optimal control theory were used in a non-linear gradient algorithm. The literature cites an attempt of the procedure at high Reynolds number where for each iteration in the evolution process, the flow field required an outer and an inner solution and the calculation of the gradient optimality condition required the solution of the co-state equation, a type of boundary layer equation
