    Bulk viscous solutions to the field equations and the deceleration parameter - revisited
    (2011-07-06) Pradhan, Anirudh; Lotemshi, I.
    We utilise a form for the Hubble parameter to generate a number of solutions to the Einstein field equations with variable cosmological constant and variable gravitational constant in the presence of a bulk viscous fluid. The Hubble law utilised yields a constant value for the deceleration parameter. A new class of solutions is presented in the Robertson-Walker spacetimes. The coefficient of bulk vis- cosity is assumed to be a power function of the mass density. For a class of solutions, the deceleration parameter is negative which is consistent with the supernovae Ia observations.
