Abstract
We consider the dynamics of a causal bulk viscous cosmological fluid filled flat homogeneous Universe in the framework of the Brans–Dicke theory. Three classes of exact solutions of the field equations are obtained and the behavior of the physical parameters is considered in detail. In this model the energy density associated to the Brans–Dicke scalar field is of the same order of magnitude as the matter energy density. The inclusion of the bulk viscous pressure term in the matter energy-momentum tensor leads to a non-decelerating evolution of the Universe.
