We analyze the dynamical behavior of a quasi-isotropic universe in the presence of a cosmological fluid endowed with bulk viscosity. We express the viscosity coefficient as a power law of the fluid energy density: ζ = ζ0∊s. Then we fix s = 1/2 as the only case in which viscosity plays a significant role in the singularity physics but does not dominate the universe dynamics (as required by its microscopic perturbative origin). The parameter ζ0is left free to define the intensity of the viscous effects.In spirit of the work by Lifshitz and Khalatnikov on the quasi-isotropic solution, we analyze both Einstein and hydrodynamic equations up to first and second order in time. As a result, we get a power law solution existing only in correspondence to a restricted domain of ζ0.

We present a discussion of the effects induced by bulk viscosity on the very early Universe stability. The viscosity coefficient is assumed to be related to the energy density ρ via a power-law of the form ζ = ζ0ρs (where ζ0, s = const.) and the behavior of the density contrast in analyzed. In particular, we study both Einstein and hydrodynamic equations up to first and second order in time in the so-called quasi-isotropic collapsing picture near the cosmological singularity. As a result, we get a power-law solution existing only in correspondence to a restricted domain of ζ0. The particular case of pure isotropic FRW dynamics is then analyzed and we show how the asymptotic approach to the initial singularity admits an unstable collapsing picture.

We consider a unified barotropic dark fluid model with dissipation. Our fluid asymptotes between two power laws and so can interpolate between the dust and dark energy (DE) equations-of-state at early and late times. The dissipative part is a bulk viscous part with constant viscosity coefficient. The model is analyzed using the phase-space methodology which helps to understand the dynamical behavior of the model in a robust manner without reference to the system solution. The parameters of the model are constrained through many observational constraints. The model is tested through many physical and observational tests. We first considered the model independent [Formula: see text] test. Results for [Formula: see text] are plotted against the BAO data for this quantity from different authors, which shows that the model is consistent with the data points for the full redshift range. The [Formula: see text] statistics results in the value of [Formula: see text] with a [Formula: see text]-value of [Formula: see text]. The Hubble parameter equation is solved numerically and results are plotted against the recent set of Hubble data. The [Formula: see text] test with the Hubble data resulted in the [Formula: see text] value of [Formula: see text] with a [Formula: see text]-value of [Formula: see text]. The distance modulus at different values of redshift is calculated numerically and results are compared to the newest set of SNe Ia data, the Pantheon Sample. We obtained a [Formula: see text] value of [Formula: see text] with a [Formula: see text]-value of [Formula: see text]. These results show that our model is efficiently consistent with observations. The model expectations for the evolution of the universe are also studied by testing the evolution of the deceleration parameter, the density of the universe, and the effective equation-of-state parameter of the model and of its underlying dark energy candidate. The value of the present day viscosity coefficient of the cosmic fluid, [Formula: see text], is estimated. It is found to be [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]Pa[Formula: see text]s. We argue that this model is able to explain the behavior of the universe evolution.

AbstractBulk viscosity is the only viscous influence that can change the background dynamics in a homogeneous and isotropic universe. In the present work, we analyze the bulk viscous cosmological model with the bulk viscosity coefficient of the form $$\zeta =\zeta _0+\zeta _1H+\zeta _2\left( \frac{\dot{H}}{H}+H\right) $$ ζ = ζ 0 + ζ 1 H + ζ 2 H ˙ H + H where, $$\zeta _0$$ ζ 0 , $$\zeta _1$$ ζ 1 and $$\zeta _2$$ ζ 2 are bulk viscous parameters, and H is the Hubble parameter. We investigate the impact of the bulk viscous parameter on dynamics of the universe in the recently proposed Weyl-type f(Q, T) gravity, where Q is the non-metricity, and T is the trace of the matter energy–momentum tensor. The exact solutions to the corresponding field equations are obtained with the viscous fluid and the linear model of the form $$f(Q, T)=\alpha Q+\frac{\beta }{6\kappa ^2}T$$ f ( Q , T ) = α Q + β 6 κ 2 T , where $$\alpha $$ α and $$\beta $$ β are model parameters. Further, we constrain the model parameters using the 57 points Hubble dataset the recently released 1048 points Pantheon sample and the combination Hz + BAO + Pantheon, which shows our model is good congeniality with observations. We study the possible scenarios and the evolution of the universe through the deceleration parameter, the equation of state (EoS) parameter, the statefinder diagnostics, and the Om diagnostics. It is observed that the universe exhibits a transition from a decelerated to an accelerated phase of the universe under certain constraints of model parameters.

The present paper reports a study on modified Chaplygin gas (MCG)-based reconstruction scheme for extended holographic Ricci dark energy (EHRDE) in the presence of viscous type dissipative term. The dissipative effect has been described by using Eckart approach. Under the assumption that the universe is filled with MCG–EHRDE under the influence of bulk viscosity we have studied the cosmological dynamics, where the bulk viscosity coefficient has been chosen in a particular time varying form [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are constant coefficients and [Formula: see text] is the Hubble parameter. Furthermore, we have reconstructed the potential and dynamics of viscous MCG–EHRDE as scalar field. Thereafter we have studied the statefinder trajectories to discern its departure from [Formula: see text] cold dark matter ([Formula: see text]CDM) and finally investigated validity of the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics considering event horizon as the enveloping horizon of the universe.

The dynamics of a causal bulk viscous cosmological fluid filled flat constantly decelerating noninflationary Robertson–Walker spacetime is considered. The matter component of the Universe is assumed to satisfy a linear barotropic equation of state and the state equation of the small temperature Boltzmann gas. The resulting cosmological models satisfy the condition of smallness of the viscous stress. The evolution of the relaxation time, temperature, bulk viscosity coefficient and comoving entropy of the dissipative cosmological fluid are obtained by assuming several bulk viscosity coefficient-relaxation time relations.

In this paper, we study phase space analysis of FRW universe model by taking a power-law model for bulk viscosity coefficient. An autonomous system of equations is developed by defining normalized dimensionless variables. We find corresponding critical points for di.erent values of the parameters to investigate stability of the system. It is found that the presence of power-law model of bulk viscosity appears as an e.ective ingredient to enhance the stability of the respective universe model.

Assuming that the matter in the background geometry is a free gas and that no phase transitions were occurring in the early Universe, we discuss the thermodynamics of this closed system using classical approaches. We find that essential cosmological quantities, such as the Hubble parameter H, the scaling factor a, and the curvature parameter k, can be derived from this simple model, which on one hand fulfills and entirely obeys the laws of thermodynamics, and on the other hand, its results are compatible with the Friedmann–Robertson–Walker model and the Einstein field equations. Including a finite bulk viscosity coefficient leads to important changes in all these cosmological quantities. Accordingly, our picture about the evolution of the Universe and its astrophysical consequences seems to undergoing a radical revision. We find that k strongly depends on the thermodynamics of background matter. The time scale at which negative curvature might take place depends on the relation between the matter content and the total energy. Using quantum and statistical approaches, we introduce expressions for H and the bulk viscosity coefficient ξ.

We present a discussion of the effects induced by the bulk viscosity on the very early Universe stability. The matter filling the cosmological (isotropic and homogeneous) background is described by a viscous fluid having an ultrarelativistic equation of state and whose viscosity coefficient is related to the energy density via a power-law of the form ζ = ζ0 ρν. The analytic expression of the density contrast (obtained for ν = 1/2) shows that, for small values of the constant ζ0, its behavior is not significantly different from the non-viscous one derived by Lifshitz. But as soon as ζ0 overcomes a critical value, the growth of the density contrast is suppressed forward in time by the viscosity and the stability of the Universe is favored in the expanding picture. On the other hand, in such a regime, the asymptotic approach to the initial singularity (taken at t = 0) is deeply modified by the apparency of significant viscosity in the primordial thermal bath, i.e. the isotropic and homogeneous Universe admits an unstable collapsing picture. In our model this feature also regards scalar perturbations while in the non-viscous case it appears only for tensor modes.

An analysis of gravitational instability in the presence of dissipative effects made. In particular, the standard Jeans mechanism and the generalization in treating the universe expansion are both analyzed when bulk viscosity affects the first-order Newtonian dynamics. As results, the perturbation evolution is found to be damped by dissipative processes and the top-down mechanism of structure fragmentation is suppressed. In such a scheme, the value of the Jeans mass remains unchanged also in the presence of viscosity.

A generalization of the Press–Schechter (PS) formalism yielding the mass function of bound structures in the Universe is given. The extended formula is based on a power law distribution which encompasses the Gaussian PS formula as a special case. The new method keeps the original analytical simplicity of the PS approach and also solves naturally its main difficult (the missing factor 2) for a given value of the free parameter.
