Executive Summary :

Modern cosmology has established itself as a competitive probe of particle and fundamental physics. The early inflation is better understood by exploring the overlapping region of particle physics and cosmology. In this project: i. a universe with viscous interacting DE may be explored ii. a non-linear EoS p=p(\rho) will be explored for a realistic universe. The interactions among the cosmic fluids may provide a mechanism for generating acceleration with a satisfactory explanation for the H_0 tension.
