Abstract
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.
