Abstract: A convective flow concentrating active particles in a region bounded by complex surfaces can be used as a dynamic confinement to form aggregates. To achieve this, a special geometry inspired by thin film experiments was modeled. There is a discussion of the effect of motility and chirality of active particles in the formation of crystalline like structures.
