Friedmann cosmology with a generalized equation of state and bulk viscosity

Astrophysics 2009-03-19 v1

Abstract

The universe media is considered as a non-perfect fluid with bulk viscosity and described by a more general equation of state. We assume the bulk viscosity is a linear combination of the two terms: one is constant, and the other is proportional to the scalar expansion θ=3a˙/a\theta=3\dot{a}/a. The equation of state is described as p=(γ1)ρ+p0p=(\gamma-1)\rho+p_0, where p0p_0 is a parameter. This model can be used to explain the dark energy dominated universe. Different choices of the parameters may lead to three kinds of fates of the cosmological evolution: no future singularity, big rip, or Type III singularity of Ref. [S. Nojiri, S.D. Odintsov, and S. Tsujikawa, Phys. Rev. D \textbf{71}, 063004 (2005)].
