Kaluza-Klein Bulk Viscous String Cosmological Model in Barber’s Second Self-Creation Theory of Gravitation

Abstract

In this paper, we have investigated a Kaluza-Klein bulk viscous string cosmological model in Barber's (Gen. Relativ. Gravit. 14:117, 1982) second self-creation theory of gravitation. The source for energy momentum tensor is bulk viscous fluid containing one dimensional cosmic string. A cosmological model, which we obtained, represents a bulk viscous string universe in self-creation theory of gravitation. The model is obtained by using some of the possible physical conditions. Several physical and kinematical properties of the model are also discussed.
