A mathematical model of the process of erythrocyte 
sedimentation is developed that contains only two optimization parameters, 
namely, a rheological parameter and the hydrodynamic-resistance radius 
of a cell. It satisfactorily describes experimental data and can be 
used to judge the deformability of erythrocytes from their kinetic 
data and to determine the viscosity of suspensions without a
viscosimeter.
