Abstract
We find exact solutions of the Einstein-Boltzmann equations with relaxational collision term in FRW and Bianchi I spacetimes. The kinematic and thermodynamic properties of the solutions are investigated. We give an exact expression for the bulk viscous pressure of an FRW distribution that relaxes towards collision-dominated equilibrium. If the relaxation is toward collision-free equilibrium, the bulk viscosity vanishes - but there is still entropy production. The Bianchi I solutions have zero heat flux and bulk viscosity, but nonzero shear viscosity. The solutions are used to construct a realisation of the Weyl Curvature Hypothesis.
