Abstract Background Blood viscosity is fundamentally important in clinical practice yet the apparent viscosity at very low shear rates is not well understood. Various conditions such as blunt trauma may lead to the appearance of zones inside the vessel where shear stress equals zero. The aim of this research was to determine the blood viscosity and quantitative aspects of rouleau formation from erythrocytes at yield velocity and therefore shear stress equal to zero. Various fundamental differential equations and aspects of multiphase medium theory have been used. The equations were solved by a method of approximation. Experiments were conducted in an aerodynamic tube. Results The following were determined 1 The dependence of the viscosity of a mixture on volume fraction during sedimentation of a group of particles forming no aggregates confirmed by published experimental data on the volume fractions of the second phase f2 up to 2 The dependence of the viscosity of the
