Shape optimization problems are one of the areas where the boundary element method can be applied efficiently. We present the application of the BEM4I library developed at IT4Innovations to a class of free surface Bernoulli problems in 3D. Apart from the boundary integral formulation of the related state and adjoint boundary value problems we present an implementation of a general scheme for the treatment of similar problems.
