Effects of f(R) Dark Energy on Dissipative Anisotropic Collapsing Fluid

The purpose of this paper is to study the effects of dark energy on dynamics of the collapsing fluid within the framework of metric f(R) gravity. The fluid distribution is assumed to be locally anisotropic and undergoing dissipation in the form of heat flow, null radiations and shear viscosity. For this purpose, we take general spherical symmetric spacetime. Dynamical equations are obtained and also some special solutions are found by considering shearing expansionfree evolution of the fluid. It is found that dark energy affects the mass of the collapsing matter and rate of collapse but does not affect the hydrostatic equilibrium.
