Abstract

An exact solution of Einstein equations representing a perfect fluid model in the presence of a zero-mass scalar field is obtained for an anisotropic metric. The effect of dissipative processes on the model is also discussed. Different physically valid forms of the scale factors in the three spatial directions give rise to some distinct models. The physical behaviour of these models is discussed in detail. Some of the perfect fluid models exhibit the ‘cigar’ singularity.
