In this paper, we discuss the evolution of the Gaussian-shaped soliton clusters in strongly nonlocal nonlinear media, which is modeled by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The influences of three initial incident parameters (the initial transverse velocity, the initial position, the input power) on propagation dynamics of the soliton clusters are all discussed in detail. The results show that the intensity distribution, the trajectory, the center distance, and the angular velocity of the clusters can be controlled by adjusting the initial incident parameters. A series of analytical solutions on the propagation dynamics of the clusters are derived by borrowing ideas from classical physics. The results in this paper may have potential applications in the beam controlling and all-optical interconnection with the interacting characteristics of (2+1)-dimensional soliton clusters.
