Abstract
In this paper, we consider the numerical schemes for a timefractional Oldroyd-B fluid model involving the Caputo derivative. We propose two efficient finite element methods by applying the convolution quadrature in time generated by the backward Euler and the second-order backward difference methods. Error estimates in terms of data regularity are established for both the semidiscrete and fully discrete schemes. Numerical examples for two-dimensional problems further confirm the robustness of the schemes with first- and second-order accurate in time.Keywords
