AB - A numerical method based on the one-way coupling using the Jeffery equation  is presented. The influence of the inlet velocity and the initial orientation  on the evolution of fiber orientation is investigated. It is observed that  the rotation mainly contributes to the pressure rise, and the flow structure  is not obviously altered. Due to the one-way coupling, the effects of the  inlet velocity and the rotating rate are insignificant.
