BULK VISCOUS FRW COSMOLOGY IN LYRA GEOMETRY

We have studied an isotropic homogeneous FRW universe in the presence of a bulk viscous fluid within the framework of Lyra's geometry. We have obtained exact solutions of the Sen equations assuming the deceleration parameter to be constant. The coefficient of bulk viscosity has been assumed to be a power function of the mass density. With this assumption, we have considered the behavior of the displacement field and the energy density for both power-law and exponential expansions of the universe. We show that our models are generalised and we obtain the results of previous works by considering k=0 and k=-1.
