Some cosmological scenarios with bulk viscosity for the dark energy fluid are considered. Based on
some considerations related to hydrodynamics, two different equations of state for dark energy are
assumed, leading to power-law and logarithmic effective corrections to the pressure. The models are tested
with the latest astronomical data from type Ia supernovae (Pantheon sample), measurements of the Hubble
parameter HðzÞ, baryon acoustic oscillations and cosmic microwave background radiation. In comparison
with the ΛCDM model, some different results are obtained and their viability is discussed. The power-law
model shows some modest results, achieved under negative values of bulk viscosity, while the logarithmic
scenario provide good fits in comparison to the ΛCDM model.
