AB - <p style="text-align: justify;">In this paper, we study two fully discrete schemes for the equations of motion arising
in the Kelvin-Voigt model of viscoelastic fluids. Based on a backward Euler method in time and a
finite element method in spatial direction, optimal error estimates which exhibit the exponential
decay property in time are derived. In the later part of this article, a second order two step
backward difference scheme is applied for temporal discretization and again exponential decay in
time for the discrete solution is discussed. Finally, a priori error estimates are derived and results
on numerical experiments conforming theoretical results are established.</p>
