a A two-dimensional projection of the distributions along the x-direction for samples produced using four different values of initial liquid fraction ${\varphi }_i$. The width of the distributions increases with ${\varphi }_i$. b Fibre orientation probabilities for a range of bin sizes as a function of the initial liquid fraction. Fraction of fibres orientated with angles 0${}^{\circ }$ to 10${}^{\circ }$, 10${}^{\circ }$ to 20${}^{\circ }$, 20${}^{\circ }$ to 30${}^{\circ }$ etc. Increasing the initial liquid fraction ${\varphi }_i$ leads to more fibres aligning out of the xy-plane. c Probability ratio of $P(80-90)/P(0-10)$ as a function of ${\varphi }_i$. An increase in initial liquid fraction results in more fibres aligning in the direction of gravity
