A general orientation equation for rigid particles embedded in a continuum has been derived. The equation includes hydrodynamic, thermodynamic, diffusional and kinetic terms, corresponding to physically different orientation mechanisms. Some special solutions of the general equation are presented, and discussed conditions under which the general equation reduces to more simple cases. Numerical examples of orientation in polyethylene subjected to uniaxial forces are discussed.
