abstract = {<p style="text-align: justify;">We perform numerical simulations of the sedimentation of rigid fibers suspended in a viscous incompressible fluid at nonzero Reynolds numbers. The fiber
sedimentation system is modeled as a two-dimensional immersed boundary problem, which naturally accommodates the fluid-particle interactions and which allows
the simulation of a large number of suspending fibers. We study the dynamics of
sedimenting fibers under a variety of conditions, including differing fiber densities,
Reynolds numbers, domain boundary conditions, etc. Simulation results are compared
to experimental measurements and numerical results obtained in previous studies.</p>},
