A defect-correction mixed finite element method for solving the time-dependentJohnson-Segalman viscoelastic equations in two dimensions is given. Inthe defect step, the constitutive equation is computed with the artificiallyreduced Weissenberg parameter for stability, and the resulting residual iscorrected in the correction step on the same grid. A streamline upwindPetrov-Galerkin (SUPG) approximation is used to stabilize the hyperboliccharacter of the constitutive equation for the stress. We establish a priorierror estimates for the defect step and the first correction step of the defectcorrection method. The derived theoretical results are supported bynumerical tests.
