Our results are shown to be insensitive to host halo mass we argue that the same is true for uncertain subgrid processes, such as feedback. Ram pressure is a pressure exerted on a body moving through a fluid medium, caused by relative bulk motion of the fluid rather than random thermal motion. This is explained by the fact that the small number of galaxies which are confinement dominated are typically at first or second apocentre and have therefore already been maximally affected by ram pressure stripping around first pericentre. Furthermore, these galaxies have, on average, less hot gas than ram-pressure-dominated ones, contrary to simple expectations. It is found that, independent of host mass, ram pressure is generally dominant over confinement pressure – only ∼16 per cent of galaxies find themselves in the reverse situation. We investigate the competition between pressure confinement and ram pressure stripping for satellite galaxies in orbit about galaxy groups and clusters using simple analytic models and detailed cosmological hydrodynamic simulations. Therefore, W × V × g The product of surface area and height is volume. The water’s weight is: W m × g We know that the density of water multiplied by volume equals the mass of water. Hydrodynamic cavitation occurs when the reduction in pressure to the vapour tension level is caused by the hydrodynamic motion of the fluid, the features of which in turn depend on the geometrical layout of the flow passages 17, 18. However, it has recently been suggested, on the basis of X-ray–optical scaling relations of galaxies in the field and the group/cluster environment, that confinement pressure by the intracluster medium can actually lead to an increase in the mass of hot gas surrounding these galaxies. This is the pressure a fluid exerts on an object due to the object’s motion through a fluid. Steps to Calculate Hydrostatic Pressure Consider a column of water with a total volume of V and a base surface area of A. Ram pressure stripping of the hot gas that surrounds normal galaxies as they fall into groups and clusters (also referred to as ‘strangulation’ or ‘starvation’) is generally thought to shut down star formation on a time-scale of a few Gyr.
