WHAT DOES SKIN FRICTION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

skin friction

Parasitic drag

Parasitic drag is drag that results when an object is moved through a fluid medium. Parasitic drag is a combination of form drag, skin friction and interference drag. Induced drag and wave drag are separate components of total drag, and are NOT components of parasitic drag. In flight, induced drag results from the need to maintain lift. It is greater at lower speeds where a high angle of attack is required. As speed increases, the induced drag decreases, but parasitic drag increases because the fluid is striking the object with greater force, and is moving across the object's surfaces at higher speed. As speed continues to increase into the transonic and supersonic regimes, wave drag enters the picture. Each of these drag components changes in proportion to the others based on speed. The combined overall drag curve therefore shows a minimum at some airspeed; an aircraft flying at this speed will be close to its optimal efficiency. Pilots will use this speed to maximize the gliding range in case of an engine failure.

Definition of skin friction in the English dictionary

The definition of skin friction in the dictionary is the friction acting on a solid body when it is moving through a fluid.
