Rip/singularity free cosmology models with bulk viscosity

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

In this paper we present two concrete models of non-perfect fluid with bulk viscosity to interpret the observed cosmic accelerating expansion phenomena, avoiding the introduction of exotic dark energy. The first model we inspect has a viscosity of the form ζ=ζ0+(ζ1−ζ2q)Hζ = ζ_0 + (ζ_1-ζ_2q)H by taking into account of the decelerating parameter q, and the other model is of the form ζ=ζ0+ζ1H+ζ2H2ζ = ζ_0 + ζ_1H + ζ_2H^2. We give out the exact solutions of such models and further constrain them with the latest Union2 data as well as the currently observed Hubble-parameter dataset (OHD), then we discuss the fate of universe evolution in these models, which confronts neither future singularity nor little/pseudo rip. From the resulting curves by best fittings we find a much more flexible evolution processing due to the presence of viscosity while being consistent with the observational data in the region of data fitting. With the bulk viscosity considered, a more realistic universe scenario is characterized comparable with the ΛCDM model but without introducing the mysterious dark energy.
