Five dimensional Bianchi type-V cosmological models described by a binary mixture of perfect fluid and dark energy with Λ-term

We have constructed the Bianchi type-V cosmological models with binary mixture of perfect fluid and dark energy in five dimensions. The perfect fluid is taken to be one obeying the usual equation of state p=γρ with γ∈[0,1]. The dark energy is considered to be either the quintessence or the Chaplygin gas. The exact solutions of the Einstein’s field equations are obtained in quadrature form. The equation of state parameter for dark energy ω is found to be consistent with the recent observations of SNe Ia data (Knop et al. in Astrophys. J. 598:102, 2003), SNe Ia data with CMBR anisotropy and galaxy clustering statistics (Tegmark et al. in Astrophys. J. 606:702, 2004b) and latest a combination of cosmological datasets coming from CMB anisotropies, luminosity distances of high redshift type Ia supernovae and galaxy clustering (Hinshaw et al. in Astrophys. J. Suppl. 180:225, 2009; Komatsu et al. in Astrophys. J. Suppl. 180:330, 2009). The cosmological constant Λ is found to be a positive decreasing function of time and it approaches a small positive value at late time (i.e. the present epoch) which is corroborated by results from recent supernovae Ia observations. The physical and geometric aspects of the models are also discussed in detail.
