An error estimate is presented for a fully discrete, linearized and stabilized finite element method for solving the coupled system of nonlinear hyperbolic and parabolic equations describing incompressible flow with variable density. In particular, the error of the numerical solution is split into the temporal and spatial components, separately. The temporal error is estimated by applying discrete maximal L^p-regularity of time-dependent Stokes equations, and the spatial error is estimated by using energy techniques based on the uniform regularity of the solutions given by semi-discretization in time.
