In this study, a least-squares (LS) finite element method with an adaptive mesh approach is investigated for Giesekus viscoelastic flow problems. We consider the weighted LS method on uniform and adaptive meshes for the Newton linearized viscoelastic problem, where adaptive grids are automatically generated by the least-squares solutions. We use a residual-type a-posteriori error estimator to adjust weights in the LS functional and compare the convergence behaviour of adaptive meshes generated using different grading functions. Numerical results demonstrate that the adaptive LS method shows at least the first-order convergence rate when equal-order linear interpolation functions are used for all variables, which agrees with the theoretical estimate. In addition, adaptive grids generated using the velocity outperform those based on the a-posteriori error estimator, yielding better numerical results.
