A self-consistent system containing a nonlinear spinor field and a Bianchi type-I (BI) gravitational field is considered in the presence of a viscous fluid and the cosmological constant. Nonlinear terms in the Lagrangian spinor-field appear either due to a self-action, or as a result of interaction with a scalar field. They are given by power functions of the invariants I and J, constructed from the bilinear spinor forms S and P. As far as the viscosity is concerned, it is a function of the energy density ɛ exhibiting a power-law behavior. Self-consistent solutions of the spinor, scalar, and gravitational field equations are derived. The obtained solutions are expressed in terms of the function τ(t ), where τ is the volume scale in the BI-type Universe. A system of equations for τ, H, and ɛ is derived, where H is the Hubble constant, and ɛ is the viscous-flow energy. Exact solutions of the system are found for some special choices of the nonlinearity and viscosity. A complete qualitative analysis of the evolution at the boundaries is performed, and numerical solutions are obtained in the most interesting cases. In particular, it is shown that the system has Big Rip type solutions, which is typical for systems containing a phantom matter.
