Abstract
We present a computational study of the trapping, packing and dynamics of clusters of Rayleigh particles in optical vortices. We examine the effect of OAM on the cylindrical packing arrangements and dynamics of the clusters, drawing comparisons with macroscopic systems of beads in fluid vortices.
