Abstract(in English) A mathematical process was introduced to compute the drag force experienced by a rigid and fluid sphere in the stationary and moving fluid. The motions of red blood cell are assumed to be sufficiently slow so that the stokes equation of motion are applicable. Corresponding to the two boundary shapes (cylinder and sphere), solutions for the stream function are obtained in cylindrical and spherical coordinates. The drag force increased with radius of the sphere. The drag force was larger in rigid and stationary fluid. The increase of the viscosity ratio between the external and the interior fluid sphere reduced the drag force. The present investigation will be available for qualitative speculation of the micro circulation in the patho physiological state.
