This study comprehensively analyzes three open star clusters: SAI 16, SAI 81, and SAI 86 using Gaia DR3 data. Based on the ASteCA code, we determined the most probable star candidates (P >= 50%) and estimated the number of star members of each cluster as 125, 158, and 138, respectively. We estimated the internal structural parameters by fitting the King model to the observed RDPs, including the core, limited, and tidal radii. The isochrone fitting to the color-magnitude diagram provided log(age) values of 9.13 +/- 0.04, 8.10 +/- 0.04, and 8.65 +/- 0.04 and distances of 3790 +/- 94 pc, 3900 +/- 200 pc, and 3120 +/- 30 pc for SAI 16, SAI 81, and SAI 86, respectively. We also calculated their projected distances from the Galactic plane (X_sun, Y_sun) as well as their vertical distances (Z_sun), Galactocentric distances (R_gc), and total masses (M_C) in solar units, which are about 142 +/- 12, 302 +/- 17, and 192 +/- 14 for SAI 16, SAI 81, and SAI 86, respectively. Examining the dynamical relaxation state indicates that all three clusters are dynamically relaxed. By undertaking a kinematic analysis of the cluster data, the space velocity was determined. We calculated the coordinates of the apex point (A_o, D_o) using the AD diagram method along with the derivation of the solar motion parameters (S_sun, l_A, b_A). Through our detailed dynamic orbit analysis, we determined that the three SAI clusters belong to the young stellar disc, confirming their membership within this component of the Galactic structure.
