Abstract
We present the validation of a recent fractional mathematical model for erythrocyte sedimentation proposed by Sousa et al. (AIMS Math 2(4):692–705, 2017). The model uses a Caputo fractional derivative to build a time-fractional diffusion equation suitable to predict blood sedimentation rates. This validation was carried out by means of erythrocyte sedimentation tests in laboratory. Data on sedimentation rates (percentages) were analyzed and compared with the analytical solution of the time-fractional diffusion equation. The behavior of the analytical solution related to each blood sample sedimentation data was described and analyzed.
