An alternative approach to modeling the interactions of fibers is proposed for the Lagrangian framework. The presented methodology is based on the idea of the random walk, which is commonly used for modeling diffusion-like processes due to the Brownian motion of molecules. It is shown that a restriction of the random walk to the unit sphere provides an accurate description of orientation changes caused by interactions between fibers.enErgebnisberichte des Instituts für Angewandte Mathematik;553fiber suspension flowsLagrangian modelingstochastic simulationrandom walkdiffusion on a sphere610preprint
