Abstract
The spherical cell method was used to describe the rotational motion of suspension particles with fixed centers of mass. This provided a more natural matching of the symmetry of hydrodynamical flows in the system to the shape of the cell. The question of choosing an optimal radius of the cell was considered. It was shown that, in the framework of the new approach, experimental data on the average viscosity of suspensions are reproduced with a high degree of accuracy up to the value of the specific volume of particles equal to 0.45.
