Abstract

We derive a new class of inhomogeneous cosmological models to verify that in the limit of large cosmological time, some models approach the Friedmann-like universe. We investigated also the contribution of the viscosity to the production entropy. Finally, we estimated the anisotropy present in the models in the asymptotic limits and comparated the results obtained with the corresponding models without viscosity.
