الملخص:This paper investigates the thermal performance of Kresling origami structures as deployable heat fins for enhanced thermal management. Origami-inspired designs offer unique advantages in heat dissipation due to their shape-transforming capabilities, enabling adaptive heat transfer solutions. The study focuses on both numerical and experimental analysis of Kresling origami fins, with the objective of understanding their conductive and convective heat transfer characteristics. Experimental measurements are conducted in a controlled wind tunnel environment enclosing a heated body with deployable origami fins. Further, a transient three-dimensional numerical model is developed based on the conservation principles of mass, momentum, and energy to simulate the heat transfer behavior. The results demonstrate that the use of Kresling origami fins significantly improves cooling performance, reducing the temperature of the heated body by up to 35.1% and 14.1% compared to a finless systems and traditionally finned system, respectively. Overall, the study demonstrates that Kresling origami offers promising potential as a deployable and efficient thermal management solution, especially in systems requiring adaptability and compactness.
