A finite element method for solving the compressible viscous Stokes equation with an inflow boundary condition is presented. The unique existence of the solution of the discrete problem is established, and an error analysis is given. It is shown that the error in pressure is dominated by the one in velocity and an error at the inflow portion of the boundary.
