Spherical top-hat Collapse of a Viscous Unified Dark Fluid

Abstract

In this paper, we test the spherical collapse of a viscous unified dark fluid (VUDF) which has constant adiabatic sound speed and show the nonlinear collapse for VUDF, baryons, and dark matter which are important to form the large scale structure of our Universe. By varying the values of model parameters $\alpha$ and ${\zeta }_0$, we discuss their effects on the nonlinear collapse of the VUDF model, and compare its result to $\Lambda CDM$ model. The analyzed results show that, within the spherical top-hat collapse framework, larger values of $\alpha$ and smaller values of ${\zeta }_0$ make the structure formation earlier and faster, and the other collapse curves are almost distinguished with the curve of $\Lambda CDM$ model if the bulk viscosity coefficient ${\zeta }_0$ is less than $10^{-3}$.
