Abstract

We generalize the CDM model by introducing a unified EOS to describe the Universe contents modeled as dark viscous fluid, motivated by the fact that a single constant equation of state (EOS) () reproduces the CDM model exactly. This EOS describes the perfect fluid term, the dissipative effect, and the cosmological constant in a unique framework and the Friedmann equations can be analytically solved. Especially, we find a relation between the EOS parameter and the renormalizable condition of a scalar field. We develop a completely numerical method to perform a minimization to constrain the parameters in a cosmological model directly from the Friedmann equations, and employ the SNe data with the parameter measured from the SDSS data to constrain our model. The result indicates that the dissipative effect is rather small in the late-time Universe.
