Abstract

Dynamic control of radiative surface properties enables optimization of thermal management systems for spacecraft, radiative cooling systems and other applications [1-3]. Various methods of altering the absorption or emission from a surface have been investigated [4-6]. Use of origami-inspired, tessellated surfaces to control apparent radiative surface properties is a promising technology [7-9]. Realizing the full potential of tessellated surfaces to dynamically control apparent radiative surface properties requires convenient methods of calculating apparent properties as a function of tessellation geometry and intrinsic radiative surface properties. This paper focuses on the use of geometry to affect total, hemispherical properties of V-grooves comprised of diffuse, gray surfaces.
