We have performed Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) simulations in order to understand the dynamical structures of Galactic Center molecular clouds. In our study it was found that the structures of GC molecular clouds could be induced by the combined effects of a gravitational perturbation by rotating bar potential and the hydrodynamic collisions between the clouds.
