Conformal-plane gravitational fields of a viscous fluid
Abstract
The paper examines the general covariance properties of conformal-plane gravitational fields of a viscous fluid with a nonzero shear tensor. It is shown that, in arbitrary conformal-plane gravitational fields of a viscous fluid with isothermal motion, the fluid particles move along geodesics, and that the shear tensor is equal to zero.
