The interaction between the hot gas inferred to exist in clusters of galaxies and the interstellar medium of a spherical galaxy has been studied by means of time-dependent numerical hydrodynamics. Galaxies moving at transonic speeds with respect to the ambient medium lose 80% to 90% of their interstellar gas before a crossing time has elapsed. The amount of gas remaining is consistent with current observational limits to the gas content of elliptical galaxies. Negligible heating of the intracluster gas results from this process. Implications of these results for spiral galaxies with halos, radio sources in clusters of galaxies, and globular clusters in galactic halos are discussed.
