Bulk viscous cosmological model in F(T) gravity.

In this paper, we have presented bulk viscous cosmological model of the universe in the modified gravity in which the Lagrangian of the gravitational action contains a general function F (T) , where T denotes torsion, for flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker spacetime with isotropic fluid. We have studied cosmological solution in F (T) theory of gravity, especially of a particular preference F (T) = T + f (T) = (1 + γ) T + α T 2 , where γ and α are coupling constants, in the presence of bulk viscosity described by Eckart theory, Truncated Israel Stewart theory and Full Israel Stewart theory. The physical and geometrical prospectives of the models in Eckart, Truncated Israel Stewart theory and Full Israel Stewart theory are deliberated in details. The investigation of the variation of bulk viscous pressure, energy density, scale factor, Hubble parameter and deceleration parameter with cosmic growth is furnished in the relevant theories. The models are analyzed by comparison with recent observational data. The cosmological models are well-matched with observations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
