Abstract
A model is proposed of a collapsing radiating star consisting of a shearing
fluid with bulk viscosity undergoing radial heat flow with outgoing radiation.
The pressure of the star, at the beginning of the collapse, is isotropic
but due to the presence of the bulk viscosity the pressure becomes more and
more anisotropic. The behavior of the density, pressure, mass, luminosity, the
effective adiabatic index and the Kretschmann scalar is analyzed. Our work
is compared to the case of a collapsing shearing fluid of a previous model, for
a star with 6
.

The majority of the previous works in gravitational collapse have considered only shear-free motion of the fluid (de Oliveira et al. 1985; Bonnor et al. 1989). This simplification allows us to obtain exact solutions of the Einstein's equations in some cases but it is somewhat unrealistic. It is also unrealistic to consider heat flow without viscosity but if viscosity is introduced, it is desirable to allow shear in the fluid motion. In a recent work Martínez & Pavón (1994) have studied the collapse of a radiating star with bulk viscosity but they still maintained the shear-free motion of the fluid. Thus, it is interesting to study solutions that contains shear (and bulk viscosity), because it plays a very important role in the study of gravitational collapse, as shown in Chan (1997, 1998, 2000).
In the first paper (Chan 1997, 1998) we have compared two collapsing model: a shear-free and a shearing model. We were interested in studying the effect of the shearing motion in the evolution of the collapse. It was shown that the pressure of the star, at the beginning of the collapse, is isotropic but due to the presence of the shear the pressure becomes more and more anisotropic. The anisotropy in self-gravitating systems has been reviewed and discussed the causes for its appearance in Herrera & Santos (1997). As shown by Chan (1997, 1998) the simplest cause of the presence of anisotropy in a self-gravitating body is the shearing motion of the fluid, because it appears without an imposition ad-hoc (Chan 1993).
In the second paper (Chan 2000) we have analyzed a model of a collapsing radiating star consisting of an isotropic fluid with shear viscosity undergoing radial heat flow with outgoing radiation, but without bulk viscosity.
The aim of this work is to generalize our previous model by introducing bulk viscosity, besides the shear motion of the fluid, and compare it to the non-viscous collapse. This work is organized as follows. In Sect. 2 we present the Einstein's field equations. In Sect. 3 we rederive the junction conditions, since Chan (1997, 1998, 2000) have obtained only results without bulk viscosity. In Sect. 4 we present the proposed solution of the field equations. In Sect. 5 we describe the model considered in this work for the initial configuration. In Sect. 6 we present the energy conditions for a viscous anisotropic fluid. In Sect. 7 we show the time evolution of the total mass, luminosity and the effective adiabatic index and in Sect. 8 we summarize the main results obtained in this work.
We assume a spherically symmetric distribution of fluid undergoing dissipation
in the form of heat flow. While the dissipative fluid collapses it produces
radiation. The interior spacetime is described by the most
general spherically symmetric metric, using comoving coordinates,
We assume the interior energy-momentum tensor is given by
Since we utilize comoving coordinates we have,
We consider a spherical surface with its motion described by a time-like
three-space
,
which divides spacetimes into interior and exterior
manifolds. For the junction conditions we follow the approach given by
Israel (1966a, israel-66b). Hence we have to demand
From the junction condition (13) we obtain
The unit normal vectors to
(for details see Santos 1985) are given by
From the Eqs. (21) and (24), using (16),
we have
The total luminosity for an observer at rest at infinity is
Again as in Chan (1997, 1998, 2000) we propose solutions of the field
Eqs. (8)-(12)
with the form
Thus, the expansion scalar (7) can be written as
Substituting Eqs. (42), (44) and (40) into
(32), assuming also that

we obtain a second order differential equation in f(t),

We consider that the system at the beginning of the collapse has a static
configuration of a perfect fluid satisfying the Schwarzschild interior
solution (Raychaudhuri & Maiti 1979)
In order to determine
the time of formation of the horizon
,
we use Eqs. (28),
(36) and (37)-(39) and write

viscosity coefficient depends on the temperature and density of the
fluid (Cutler & Lindblom
1987). Hereinafter, the values of

1.347 1031 g cm-1 s-1,
which correspond to values 100, 500 and 1000 s-1, respectively, in time
units.

It is shown in Figs. 2 and 6 the radial profiles of the density and the heat flux. It is shown only one plot for each quantity because they do not depend on the bulk viscosity, which can be seen from Eqs. (41) and (44).
In Figs. 3 and 4 we plot the radial profiles of the radial and tangential pressures. In these figures we notice that the radial and tangential pressure diminish with the viscosity.
In Fig. 5 is shown the radial profiles of the radial and tangential
pressure ratio.
In this figure (
)
we can see that the star is isotropic
at the beginning of the collapse (f = 1) but becoming more and more
anisotropic at later times. The anisotropy for the viscous model
(
)
has the same time behavior, except for
.
All known forms of matter obey the weak, dominant and strong energy conditions. For this reason a star model based on some fluid which violates these conditions cannot be seriously considered as physically relevant. Thus, in order to find the energy conditions, we have followed the same procedure used in Kolassis et al. (1988) and have generalized the energy conditions for a viscous anisotropic fluid.
For the energy-momentum tensor Segre type [111,1] and if
denotes the
eigenvalue corresponding to the timelike eigenvector, the general energy
conditions are
equivalent to the following relations between the eigenvalues of the
energy-momentum tensor:
a) weak energy condition
b) dominant energy condition
c) strong energy condition
The eigenvalues
of the energy-momentum tensor are the roots of the
equation
From Eqs. (57) and (69) we get the first weak
energy condition written as
From Eq. (58), now setting i = 2, 3 (since
and
are identical) and using Eqs. (69)
and (74)-(75) we get the third weak energy
condition given by
From Eq. (59), setting i=1 and using Eqs. (69)
and (70) we get the inequality
Substituting Eqs. (69), (70),
(74)
and (75) into Eq. (60) we get the first strong
energy condition given by
Summarizing the results, we rewrite the energy conditions. The energy
conditions for a spherically symmetric fluid whose energy-momentum tensor is
given by Eq. (3) are fulfilled if the following inequalities
are satisfied:
and besides,
a) for the weak energy conditions
b) for the dominant energy conditions
c) for the strong energy conditions

In order to verify the energy conditions, we have plotted the time evolution
for all the conditions,
for several radii and for two values of
(0 and 1000),
as we can see in Figs. 7-9.
For the sake of comparison with the model
,
we have plotted all
the conditions (88)-(93) for
.
From Figs. 7(i) and 8(i) we can conclude that
only the
inequality [
]
is not satisfied during all
the collapse and for any radius. This inequality is not satisfied for the
innermost radii (
)
and for the latest stages of the
collapse. The condition (93) is not satisfied for
[Figs. 9(vi) and 9(vi)] because the inequality
(88) [
]
is not satisfied for these radii and for the
latest stages of the collapse.
As in Chan (1997, 1998, 2000), we have calculated several physical quantities,
as the total energy entrapped
inside the
surface, the total luminosity perceived by an observer
at rest at infinity and the effective adiabatic index, and we have compared
them to the respective non-viscous ones.

We note in Eq. (104) that the most negative exponent term in f is
,
thus, when f or/and r go to zero the Kretschmann
scalar diverges.
Substituting Eqs. (47)-(53) into (104) and calculating numerically the Kretschmann scalar, we can get the plot shown in Fig. 13. As we can see from this figure, the Kretschmann scalar has no negative values, i.e., no negative curvature and diverges when t or/and r go to zero. Although it is not our case, this is in contrast to the results of Henry (2000), where he found that rotating black holes possess a negative curvature.
The main conclusions of the present study are:
