Abstract
This research explores the potential impact of viscosity by using the gravity. We consider two functional forms: and , along with a viscous pressure parameterized by . Using observational datasets (CC 46, BAO 15 and Pantheon 1048) and MCMC techniques, we constrain model parameters and analyze key cosmological quantities. Our investigation reveals a transition from a decelerating to an accelerating phase, characterized by values of and that are compatible with the observational constraints. The equation of state parameter approaches , signaling a late-time acceleration, while the energy conditions indicate a persistent violation of the SEC alongside the stability of NEC, WEC and DEC. Statefinder diagnostics reveal a transition toward CDM-like behavior and the sound speed squared remains positive which ensure model stability throughout cosmic evolution. Our models provide a viable alternative to standard cosmological frameworks, with potential implications for understanding the influence of viscosity in the Universe’s late-time dynamics.
期刊介绍:
High Energy Density Physics is an international journal covering original experimental and related theoretical work studying the physics of matter and radiation under extreme conditions. ''High energy density'' is understood to be an energy density exceeding about 1011 J/m3. The editors and the publisher are committed to provide this fast-growing community with a dedicated high quality channel to distribute their original findings.
Papers suitable for publication in this journal cover topics in both the warm and hot dense matter regimes, such as laboratory studies relevant to non-LTE kinetics at extreme conditions, planetary interiors, astrophysical phenomena, inertial fusion and includes studies of, for example, material properties and both stable and unstable hydrodynamics. Developments in associated theoretical areas, for example the modelling of strongly coupled, partially degenerate and relativistic plasmas, are also covered.
