Parameters for the settling passive fibre identification. We use $N=20$ beads for the evaluation.

parameter	value	parameter	value
time step	${10}^{-4}$	filament length	$L=40$
intrinsic curvature	$R{u}_{\mathrm{eq}}={10}^{7}L$	initial curvature	$R{u}_{\mathrm{ini}}=R{u}_{\mathrm{eq}}$
equilibrium bending angle	${\theta }_{b_{\mathrm{eq}}}=0$	gravity force	$F_{\perp }=10$
elasto-gravitational number	$B=F_{\perp }{L}^3/{\mathit{\Theta }}_{\mathrm{e}}=3\times {10}^3$	bending stiffness	$\parallel {\mathit{\Theta }}_{\mathrm{e}}\parallel =213.3$
