This paper introduces a new rheological model of blood as a certain generalisation of the standard Herschel-Bulkley model. This model is a rheological constitutive equation and belongs to the group of the so-called generalised Newtonian fluids. Experimental data is compared with results, obtained from the new model, to demonstrate that it allows for the best agreement together with Luo-Kuang model. The new model may be easily implemented into commercial CFD codes, which is not that obvious for more complicated models such as differential, integral and rate type fluids. What is more, it allows for modelling such phenomena as the shear thinning, yield stress and constant viscosity values at high shear rates.
