Abstract: A formal methodology for developing variational principles corresponding to a given nonlinear pde system is discussed. The scheme is demonstrated in the context of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, systems of first-order conservation laws, and systems of Hamilton-Jacobi equations.
