Abstract

We study the evolution of an anisotropic fluid with kinematic self-similarity of the second kind. We found a class of solution to the Einstein field equations by assuming an equation of state where the radial pressure of the fluid is proportional to its energy density (pr = ωρ) and that the fluid moves along time-like geodesics. The self-similarity requires ω = -1. The energy conditions, geometrical and physical properties of the solutions are studied. We have found that, depending on the self-similar parameter α, they may represent a black hole or a naked singularity.
