    摘要: Embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to the thermal management and regulation of electronic equipment. Microfluidic channels are utilized to actively change the aerodynamics of a surface, which may allow for the ability to change a surface texture from flat to raised, or dimpled, or from open to closed. The changing of the surface texture influences the fluid flow over or through the surface, thus allowing for thermal regulation of the surface. The thermal regulation system further controls fluid flow through an electronic device via a coating, or layer, having a plurality of active perforations thereon. The active perforations may open and close to increase and decrease the inlet of air to the system in order to help balance the back pressure in the system and redirect airflow to more sensitive system components. Active perforations may be individually opened and/or closed depending on location and system component utilization.
