Abstract
A new class of exact solutions of Einstein's field equations with bulk viscous fluid for an locally rotationally symmetric Bianchi type-I spacetime is obtained by using a variable deceleration parameter. We have described three cases, depending on the different forms of deceleration parameter, in which six models of the universe are obtained. The value of Hubble's constant H0 is found to be less than unity for these models which are of the physical interest. Some physical and geometric properties of the models are also discussed.
