Finite element Galerkin method is applied to equations of motion arising in the Kelvin–Voigt model of viscoelastic fluids for spatial discretization. Some new a priori bounds which reflect the exponential decay property are obtained for the exact solution. For optimal L ∞ ( L 2 ) estimate in the velocity, a new auxiliary operator which is based on a modification of the Stokes operator is introduced and analyzed. Finally, optimal error bounds for the velocity in L ∞ ( L 2 ) as well as in L ∞ ( H 0 1 )‐norms and the pressure in L ∞ ( L 2 )‐norm are derived which again preserves the exponential decay property. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
