Scientific paper

The motion of galaxies through the hot intracluster gas is examined. It
is found that a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability develops at the interface
between the moving galaxy and the gas. Its effect is gas stripping from
the moving galaxy: the rate of stripping is estimated. The role of
viscosity in this process is discussed.
