Abstract. We build the 5D cosmological model of the cosmos in the f(R,T) gravity when the cause of gravitation is a bulk viscous fluid. We obtain model for f(R,T) = f1(R) + f2(T) where f1(R) = μR and f2(T) = μT. We find that viscous fluid is influenced by the parameter μ of f(R,T) gravity. By proper tuning of the parameter μ and a proportionality constant k1, the model describes stiff fluid era, radiation dominated era, matter-dominated era, transition era, dark energy (DE) dominated era, phantom era, and quintessence era of the universe. Further, we discuss the different physical and kinematical properties of the models.
