Scientific paper

It is found by a study of viscosity, thermal conduction and turbulence effects on the flow of hot gas past a galaxy that transport processes cause stripping of gas at a rate which often exceeds that due to pressure alone. Application of these results to M86 in the Virgo cluster and UGC 6697 in A1367 yields an X-ray image of M86 which suggests that the Virgo intermetallic medium's ion mean free paths are smaller than their magnetic field free values, while turbulent viscous stripping is seen as the cause of UGC 6697's appearance.
