Observational constraints on the wet dark fluid model in the fractal gravity

Abstract

A flat Friedmann–Robertson–Walker (FRW) cosmological model with Wet Dark Fluid has been studied based on fractal gravity. The exact solution of the field equations is obtained using linear time-varying deceleration parameter (Akars̈u and Dereli, 2012) and assuming fractal parameter ξ≠0. The model parameters involved in the model have been constrained using the Hubble datasets H(z) of 77 data points, known as cosmic chronometers (CC), recently published Pantheon, and the joint data (CC+Pantheon samples). Additionally, we compare our model with ΛCDM in standard cosmology via error bar trajectories. We study the physical and the cosmographic parameters, such as the Hubble parameter H(z), deceleration parameter q(z), and the higher derivatives of the deceleration parameter q(z), etc. under cosmic observations. It is observed that our model transits from a decelerating state to an accelerating state at ztr≈2.764. The other astrophysical parameters such as the jerk parameter and snap parameter are also discussed. Finally, we conclude that our model is an accelerating quintessence dark energy model.
