Effect of Varying Bulk Viscosity on Generalized Chaplygin Gas

In this paper, viscous generalized Chaplygin gas as a model of dark energy considered. We assume non-constant bulk viscous coefficient and study dark energy density. We consider several cases of density-dependent viscosities. We find that, in the special case, the viscous generalized Chaplygin gas is corresponding to modified Chaplygin gas.     

Interacting Entropy-Corrected Holographic Chaplygin Gas Model

Holographic dark energy (HDE), presents a dynamical view of dark energy which is consistent with the observational data and has a solid theoretical background. Its definition follows from the entropy-area relation S(A), where S and A are entropy and area respectively. In the framework of loop quantum gravity, a modified definition of HDE called “entropy-corrected holographic dark energy” (ECHDE) has been proposed recently to explain dark energy with the help of quantum corrections to the entropy-area relation. Using this new definition, we establish a correspondence between modified variable Chaplygin gas, new modified Chaplygin gas and the viscous generalized Chaplygin gas with the entropy corrected holographic dark energy and reconstruct the corresponding scalar potentials which describe the dynamics of the scalar field.     

Generalized holographic dark energy model

In this paper, the model of the holographic Chaplygin gas has been extended to two general cases: first the case of a modified variable Chaplygin gas and second the case of the viscous generalized Chaplygin gas. The dynamics of the model is expressed by the use of scalar fields and scalar potentials.     

Interacting Viscous Modified Chaplygin Gas Cosmology in Presence of Cosmological Constant

Here, we consider interacting viscous modified Chaplygin gas in presence of cosmological constant. We assumed bulk viscosity as a function of density. We consider interaction between modified Chaplygin gas and baryonic matter. Then, the effects of viscosities on the cosmological parameters such as energy, density, Hubble expansion parameter, scale factor and deceleration parameter investigated. This model may be considered as a toy model of our universe.     

Fate of an accretion disc around a black hole when both the viscosity and dark energy is in effect

This paper deals with the viscous accretion flow of a modified Chaplygin gas towards a black hole as the central gravitating object. A modified Chaplygin gas is a particular type of dark energy model which mimics of radiation era to phantom era depending on the different values of its parameters. We compare the dark energy accretion with the flow of adiabatic gas. An accretion disc flowing around a black hole is an example of a transonic flow. To construct the model, we consider three components of the Navier–Stokes equation, the equation of continuity and the modified Chaplygin gas equation of state. As a transonic flow passes through the sonic point, the velocity gradient being apparently singular there, it gives rise to two flow branches: one in-falling, the accretion and the other outgoing, the wind. We show that the wind curve is stronger and the wind speed reaches that of light at a finite distance from the black hole when dark energy is considered. Besides, if we increase the viscosity, the accretion disc is shortened in radius. These two processes acting together make the system deviate much from the adiabatic accretion case. It shows a weakening process for the accretion procedure by the work of the viscous system influencing both the angular momentum transport and the repulsive force of the modified Chaplygin gas.     

Evolution of a Schwarzschild black hole in phantom-like Chaplygin gas cosmologies

In the classical relativistic regime, the accretion of phantom energy onto a black hole reduces the mass of the black hole. In this context, we have investigated the evolution of a Schwarzschild black hole in the standard model of cosmology using the phantom-like modified variable Chaplygin gas and the viscous generalized Chaplygin gas. The corresponding expressions for accretion time scale and evolution of mass have been derived. Our results indicate that the mass of the black hole will decrease if the accreting phantom Chaplygin gas violates the dominant energy condition and will increase in the opposite case. Thus, our results are in agreement with the results of Babichev et al. who first proposed this scenario.     

Viscous Generalized Chaplygin Gas in Non-flat Universe

In this paper we study viscous generalized Chaplygin gas and obtain modified Friedmann equations due to viscosity. In the case of non-flat universe we calculate time-dependent energy density of generalized Chaplygin gas. By using stability condition and speed of sound we find critical value of viscosity coefficient where speed of sound is finite.     

Constraints on unified models for dark matter and dark energy using <Emphasis Type="Italic">H</Emphasis>(<Emphasis Type="Italic">z</Emphasis>)

The differential age data of astrophysical objects that have evolved passively during the history of the universe (e.g. red galaxies) allows us to test theoretical cosmological models through the predicted Hubble function expressed in terms of the redshift z, H(z). We use the observational data for H(z) to test unified scenarios for dark matter and dark energy. Specifically, we focus our analysis on the Generalized Chaplygin Gas (GCG) and the viscous fluid (VF) models. For the GCG model, it is shown that the unified scenario for dark energy and dark matter requires some priors. For the VF model we obtain estimations for the free parameters, which may be compared with further analysis mainly at perturbative level.     

Accelerating Universe in Brans-Dicke Theory in Presence of Chaplygin Gas

In this paper, we have considered a model for Brans-Dicke scalar field in presence of Chaplygin gas and interaction between them. We have shown that the BD parameter ω is constant or not, the Chaplygin gas provides early deceleration and late time acceleration of the universe. The graphical representation of statefinder parameters shows the total evolution of the universe starts from radiation era to phantom model.
