When an Oort cloud comet comes into the planetary region its orbit might be perturbed by planets so that the comet becomes a short period comet. The dynamical transfer of Oort cloud comets into short period comets is considered in this paper. By using the few body problem integrations with K-S regularization method, we have calculated a large number of initial parabolic orbits with different inclinations and different perihelion distances. We also calculated the cross-sections and obtained the distributions of new inclinations and new perihelion distances for given energy changes in order to explain the orbital features of short period comets.
