Abstract : Ram Pressure Striping (RPS) and its related processes have been extensively studied as a mechanism to remove gas from galaxies since its introduction by Gunn and Gott more than four decades ago. The amount of gas present directly relates to star formation and the evolution of galaxy. We shall discuss a comparative analysis of effectiveness of RPS as a gas removing mechanism. Present work focuses on the dependence of RPS on ambient medium, redshift, and galaxy properties like asymmetries in galaxies, spiral arms and magnetic field. We use a simple analytical model which gives an upper limit of the gas removed via RPS. Some limitations of the model will be discussed towards the end.
