Abstract

A spatially homogenous and anisotropic Bianchi type space-time is considered in the frame work of second self-creation theory of gravitation proposed by Barber (Gen. Relativ. Gravit. 14:117, 1982) in the presence of bulk viscous fluid containing one dimensional cosmic strings. Solving the field equations of this theory an exact cosmological model is obtained using some physically plausible conditions. It is observed that strings in this model do not survive. Some physical and kinematical properties of the model are also discussed.
