The viscosity coefficient is assumed to be related to the energy density $ρ$ via a power-law of the form $ζ=ζ_0 ρ^s$ (where $ζ_0, s=const.$) and the behavior of the density contrast in analyzed. In particular, we study both Einstein and hydrodynamic equations up to first and second order in time in the so-called quasi-isotropic collapsing picture near the cosmological singularity. As a result, we get a power-law solution existing only in correspondence to a restricted domain of $ζ_0$. The particular case of pure isotropic FRW dynamics is then analyzed and we show how the asymptotic approach to the initial singularity admits an unstable collapsing picture.4 pages, no figureGeneral Relativity and Quantum CosmologyAstrophysicsOn the Role of Viscosity in Early Cosmologytext
