Abstract
The computed orientation distribution of fibers immersed in laminar pipe flows showed that the longitudinal distributions are wide for small Reynolds numbers and become narrower with increasingRe. For lowRe number, the axial orientation distributions are broad with almost no preferred orientations. For highRe number, the axial distribution becomes narrow, with sharp maxima. The mean values of the longitudinal orientation depend strongly on theRe number. The computed results are in qualitative agreement with relevant experimental results.
