Summary We have successfully applied our model to NGC 1097 to reproduce most of its observed gas morphology and kinematical features. Based on these results, we have also derived the bar parameters and probed the properties of the rotating bar. In the future, similar studies on more barred spiral galaxies will help us better understand the evolution of the bar parameters. Thank you! 21
