I need a word for something that spreads out slowly and comes back together?

Like think flocks of birds but with people or objects.

    I'm not sure there is one single word that does it... can't think of any single one offhand, anyway... Because it is such a picture-image, it usually gets a two-part description, e.g., "The crowd parted as the matador walked through it, his sword unsheathed; then came together again [behind him] as he made his way toward the bullring entrance." (Busy reading some Hemingway right now ... :-) )
