In [[Aerodynamics]], '''skin friction''' is the component of [[parasitic drag]] arising from the friction of the fluid against the "skin" of the object that is moving through it. Thus, as with other components of parasitic drag, skin friction follows the [[drag equation]] and rises with the square of the [[velocity]].
