Considering the condition on conservation of energy momentum tensor (EMT), we study late time cosmological solutions in the context of $f(R,T)=R+\alpha T^{n}$ gravity (where $\alpha$ and $n$ are constants) in a flat FLRW spacetime. The…

From a hydrodynamicist's point of view the inclusion of viscosity concepts in the macroscopic theory of the cosmic fluid would appear most natural, as an ideal fluid is after all an abstraction (excluding special cases such as…
