Bianchi type V bulk viscous fluid cosmological models are investigated with 
dynamic cosmological term L(t). Using a generation 
technique (Camci et al., 2001), it is shown that the Einstein's field equations 
are solvable for any arbitrary cosmic scale function. Solutions for particular 
forms of cosmic scale functions are also obtained. The cosmological constant is 
found to be a decreasing function of time, which is supported by results from 
recent type Ia supernovae observations. Some physical and geometrical aspects of 
the models are also discussed.   PACS numbers: 98.80.Es, 98.80.-k UDC 524.83
