This paper is intended to provide a rigorous theoretical foundation for constructing a novel computational method which incorporates a new finite element with self-adapting embedded discontinuities (now under development) and the artificial density concept; this method could capture all unknown discontinuities automatically and clearly. The applicability of variational principles to rotational flow, in contrast to those for Beltrami flow, is not limited to transonic flows with moderate Mach numbers.
