| Abstract: | In this paper, we solve the field equations in metric f(R) gravity for Bianchi type VI
0 spacetime and discuss evolution of the expanding universe. We find two types of non-vacuum solutions by taking isotropic
and anisotropic fluids as the source of matter and dark energy. The physical behavior of these solutions is analyzed and compared
in the future evolution with the help of some physical and geometrical parameters. It is concluded that in the presence of
isotropic fluid, the model has singularity at (t)\tilde]=0\tilde{t}=0 and represents continuously expanding shearing universe currently entering into phantom phase. In anisotropic fluid, the
model has no initial singularity and exhibits the uniform accelerating expansion. However, the spacetime does not achieve
isotropy as t→∞ in both of these solutions. |
