Research abstract
Prime Research LC (PRLC) proposes a novel device for measurement of skin-friction which promises to alleviate many of the problems historically encountered with practical wall-shear measurements. The proposed device is the culmination of many years experience with the design and testing of skin-friction gages, including at-sea evaluation of marine drag reduction technology. The proposed skin friction gage capitalizes on this experience and utilizes highly sensitive transduction techniques, low-friction bearing technology, and careful consideration of design for marine environments in order to provide a robust and accurate instrument.
