Abstract
It is shown that spacetimes satisfying the Einstein–Maxwell equations, either in vacuo or coupled with a perfect fluid, may also satisfy the field equations for a viscous fluid. The necessary conditions for this alternative interpretation are found and examples of Einstein–Maxwell solutions admitting, and also not admitting, the viscous fluid interpretation are given.Keywords
