We investigate the consistency and convergence of flux-corrected finite element approximations in the context of nonlinear hyperbolic conservation laws. In particular, we focus on a monolithic convex limiting approach and prove a Lax–Wendroff-type theorem for the corresponding semi-discrete problem. A key component of our analysis is the use of a weak estimate on bounded variation, which follows from the semi-discrete entropy stability property of the method under investigation. For the Euler equations of gas dynamics, we prove the weak convergence of the flux-corrected finite element scheme to a dissipative weak solution. If a strong solution exists, the sequence of numerical approximations converges strongly to the strong solution.
