We consider spherically symmetric inhomogeneous pressure Stephani universes, with the center of symmetry being our location. The main feature of these models is that comoving observers do not follow geodesics. In particular, comoving perfect fluids necessarily have a radially dependent pressure. We consider a subclass of these models characterized by some inhomogeneity parameter $\ensuremath{\beta}$. We show also that the velocity of sound of comoving perfect fluids, like the (effective…

Analytical solutions for two inhomogeneous cosmological models with energy flow and dynamical curvature
Recently we have introduced a nonrelativistic cosmological model (NRCM) exhibiting a dynamical spatial curvature. For this model the present day cosmic acceleration is not attributed to a negative

We show in a model-independent way that the inhomogeneous cosmological class II Stephani model fulfills both the cosmological holographic principle and that the entropy is increasing with time. By

We present the particular case of the Stephani solution for shear-free perfect fluid with uniform energy density and non-uniform pressure. Such models appeared as possible alternative to the

We present a new model-independent strategy for testing the Friedmann-Lema\^itre-Robertson-Walker metric and constraining cosmic curvature, based on future time delay measurements of strongly lensed
Modelling Spatial Variations of the Speed of Light

We extend a new method to measure possible variation of the speed of light by using Baryon Acoustic Oscillations and the Hubble function onto an inhomogeneous pressure model of the universe. The

This work investigates the main scenarios of the test particle and photon motion in the spherically symmetric Stephani cosmological model with an accelerated expansion and shows that a comoving observer sees an appropriate picture.

The simplest standard ray tracing scheme employing the Born and Limber approximations and neglecting lens-lens coupling is used for computing the convergence along individual rays in mock N-body data
Redshift drift in an inhomogeneous universe: averaging and the backreaction conjecture

An expression for the average redshift drift in a statistically homogeneous and isotropic dust universe is given. The expression takes the same form as the expression for the redshift drift in FLRW
Stephani cosmology: entropically viable but observationally challenged

Inhomogeneous cosmological models such as the Stephani universes could, in principle, provide an explanation for the observed accelerated expansion of the Universe. Working with a concrete, popular
