ler implicit method in time and fem in space,which maintains a coupling between the velocity u and the viscoelastic part of the stress σ at each time step. Approximate stress, velocity and stress are, respectively, P_1-continuous,P_2-continuous,and P_1-continuous. Upwinding needed for convection of a is made by a SUPG (streamline Upwinding Petrov-Galerkin method, see[15,16]). Suppose that the continuous problem admits a suffiently smooth and sufficiently small solution, it is shown that the approximation problem has a solution and an optimal error bound is given. 收起
