Bianchi Type V Cosmological Models with Constant Deceleration Parameter in General Relativity

We investigate Bianchi type V cosmological models with bulk viscous fluid source. Exact solutions of the Einstein field equations are presented via a suitable power law assumption for the Hubble parameter. We show that the corresponding solutions retain the well established features of the standard cosmology and in addition, are in accordance with recent type Ia supernovae observations. Some observational parameters for the models have also been discussed.
