The detailed flow characteristics of a direct measuring skin-friction gauge are examined. This type of device uses a small, movable head mounted flush to a wall, such that the head is assumed to be exposed to the same shear stress from the flow as the surrounding wall. The resulting deflection can be monitored by instruments such as strain gauges mounted on a flexure below the head. The goal of this study was to develop an understanding of the effects that the geometric design and installation parameters of the device have on the surrounding flow and the ability of the gauge to reflect the undisturbed shear stress value. Factors influencing the performance of a skin-friction gauge include the presence of the necessary gaps in the wall around the floating head, improper installation/misalignment issues with respect to the wall, and extraneous forces arising from pressure gradients. All of these effects are studied here computationally with a three-dimensional, Navier-Stokes code based on the finite element technique
