General Bulk-Viscous Solutions and Estimates of Bulk Viscosity in the Cosmic Fluid

We derive a general formalism for bulk viscous solutions of the energy-conservation equation for ρ ( a , ζ ) , both for a single-component and a multicomponent fluid in the Friedmann universe. For our purposes, these general solutions become valuable in estimating the order of magnitude of th...
