We performed numerical simulation including UV radiation transfer, and investigated effects of radiation driven implosion on star formation processes. We also observed two bright-rimmed clouds with C12O(J=1-0) and C13O(J=1-0) in order to compare density distributions between numerical results and observational results. Density profiles of bright-rimmed clouds are consistent with those of numerical simulations. These facts insist that star formations in bright-rimmed clouds are triggered by radiation driven implosion.
