Exact solutions of the Einstein's field equations in Lyra geometry in D=4+n dimensional spacetime with time-increasing G and decaying cosmic fluid and density are obtained and discussed in some details. We suggest the phenomenological dissipative law b2 µ H/t for the square of the non-zero component of the displacement vector field fA. H is the Hubble parameter in the extra-dimensional spacetime metric. It has been observed that the cases n ³ 6 are within the observational limit, the four-dimensional spacetime is in the stage of accelerated expansion, while the extra-dimensions are contracting in time.
