A stellar bar is an essential dynamical component for the behaviour of gas and molecular clouds in a spiral galaxy. It can trigger the formation of the arms and provokes radial transfer of gas. N-body simulations have shown that the bar forms easily and is very stable; according to classification, the majority of spiral galaxies are barred.
