We suggest that filaments in star-forming regions undergo frequent mergers. As stellar nurseries, filaments play a vital role in understanding star formation and mergers could pave the way for understanding the formation of more complex filamentary systems, such as networks and hubs. We compare the physical properties derived from hydrodynamic RAMSES simulations of merging filaments to those obtained from ALMA observations towards the LDN 1641-North region in Orion. We find similarities in the distributions of line-mass, column density, and velocity dispersion. Such common features support the hypothesis of filament mergers shaping the structure of the interstellar medium.
