Olga Kartuzova

Olga Kartuzova is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Case School of Engineering, Case Western Reserve University. Her work focuses on computational modeling of cryogenic storage tanks and zero boil-off tank systems under normal and reduced gravity conditions.

• Develops state-of-the-art computational models for Cryogenic Fluid Management systems
• Studies multiphase flow, turbulence, spray, and heat/mass transfer in pressurization processes
• Supports the Zero Boil-Off Tank (ZBOT) microgravity experiment aboard the International Space Station (ISS)
• Collaborates with CNES (French Space Agency) and JAXA (Japanese Space Agency) on CFD benchmark studies

Her research has direct applications in optimizing in-space propulsion systems through parametric CFD analysis and multiagency computational projects.
