In this paper using the Saez-Ballester scalar-tensor theory of gravitation, we examined a 5-dimensional FRW cosmic space-time in a source of bulk viscous fluid in the article. To examine determinate solutions of the field equations, we used a power law between a scalar field and the universe's scale factor. Our research considers radiating flat, closed, and open models. The physical and kinematical properties of the models were explored in each scenario. In this study, we show that our model expands and is free of initial singularities, as well as that our models decelerate in a conventional manner.
HIGHLIGHTS
Using the Saez-Ballester theory and a 5-dimensional FRW space-time as a source of bulk viscous fluid, we have obtained cosmological models that can be assumed to be equivalent radiating models in closed, open, and flat space-times
We have obtained models that are expanding and free of initial singularity
We used a power law between a scalar field and the universe's scale factor
