Surface models of granular materials in storage tanks

The paper focuses on the problem of measuring the volume of granular materials in storage tanks where, due to uneven surfaces of these materials, the error in measurement by conventional methods reaches 15–20 percent. To increase the accuracy of volume measurement, a technique for modeling surfaces...

Description
Summary:The paper focuses on the problem of measuring the volume of granular materials in storage tanks where, due to uneven surfaces of these materials, the error in measurement by conventional methods reaches 15–20 percent. To increase the accuracy of volume measurement, a technique for modeling surfaces formed by granular materials in tanks is proposed.
