Abstract
By merging a natural variational principle with a minimizing procedure it is possible to obtain an upper bound on the minimum possible drag on a body of given volume moving through a fluid at zero Reynolds number, and constant speed. A discussion is also given of the possibility of finding a lower bound to this quantity.Keywords
