    • Viscosity in modified gravity 

      Brevik, Iver Håkon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2012)
      A bulk viscosity is introduced in the formalism of modified gravity. It is shown that, based on a natural scaling law for the viscosity, a simple solution can be found for quantities such as the Hubble parameter and the ...
    • Viscosity-Induced Crossing of the Phantom Barrier 

      Brevik, Iver Håkon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      We show explicitly, by using astrophysical data plus reasonable assumptions for the bulk viscosity in the cosmic fluid, how the magnitude of this viscosity may be high enough to drive the fluid from its position in the ...
    • Viscosity-induced crossing of the phantom divide in the dark cosmic fluid 

      Brevik, Iver Håkon (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013-12-10)
      Choosing various natural forms for the equation-of-state parameter w and the bulk viscosity ζ, we discuss how it is possible for a dark energy fluid to slide from the quintessence region across the divide w = −1 into the ...
    • Viscous Cosmology for Early- and Late-Time Universe 

      Brevik, Iver Håkon; Grøn, Øyvind; de Haro, Jaume; Odintsov, Sergei D.; Saridakis, Emmanuel N. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      From a hydrodynamicist’s point of view the inclusion of viscosity concepts in the macroscopic theory of the cosmic fluid would appear most natural, as an ideal fluid is after all an abstraction (exluding special cases such ...
    • Viscous coupled fluids in terms of a log-corrected equation-of-state 

      Brevik, Iver Håkon; Myrzakulov, K.; Timoshkin, A. V.; Zhadyranova, A. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      In this paper, we consider a class of cosmological fluids that possess properties analogous to those of crystalline solids undergoing isotropic deformations. Our research is based on a modified log-corrected power-law ...
    • Viscous flow around a circular cylinder near a plane wall 

      Engelbreth, Knut Inge (Master thesis, 2011)
