In this work, we discuss a finite element/operator-splitting method for simulating viscoelastic flow at high Weissenberg numbers. This scheme is stable when simulating lid-driven cavity Stokes flow at high Weissenberg numbers.

Abstract
We study a defect correction method for the approximation of viscoelastic fluid flow. In the defect step, the constitutive equation is computed with an artificially reduced Weissenberg parameter for stability, and the resulting residual is corrected in the correction step. We prove the convergence of the defect correction method and derive an error estimate for the Oseen‐viscoelastic model problem. The derived theoretical results are supported by numerical tests for both the Oseen‐viscoelastic problem and the Johnson‐Segalman model problem. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract In this paper we present a method for the simulation of incompressible as well as compressible unsteady flows. At first we discuss three different forms, i.e. a primitive‐, conservative‐ and a semi‐conservative form of the governing equations. We use a semi‐implicit time integration in
