Abstract
A class of nonstatic inhomogeneous plane-symmetric solutions of Einstein field equations is obtained. The source for these solutions is a viscous fluid with heat flow. The fluid flow is irrotational and it has nonzero expansion, shear and acceleration. All these solutions have a big-bang singularity. The matter-free limit of the solutions is the well-known Kasner vacuum solution. Some physical features of the solutions are briefly discussed.
