We consider a mixed finite‐volume finite‐element method applied to the Navier–Stokes system of equations describing the motion of a compressible, barotropic, viscous fluid. We show convergence as well as error estimates for the family of numerical solutions on condition that: (a) the underlying physical domain as well as the data are smooth; (b) the time step Δ t and the parameter h of the spatial discretization are proportional, Δ t ≈ h ; and (c) the family of numerical densities remains bounded for Δ t , h → 0 . No a priori smoothness is required for the limit (exact) solution. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 33: 1208–1223, 2017
