Abstract

It is necessary to determine the volume of water contained in a tank for a wide range of applications, such as the automation and monitoring of industrial operations. In the context of the marine industry, the aforementioned information plays a vital role in the effective management of submerged devices, specifically in relation to their depths and/or inclinations. In these cases, it is not feasible to quantify the volume of liquid in a tank by means of direct measurements, owing to the fact that devices can be subjected to changes in their orientation. This variation in inclination could have a variety of causes, such as the implementation of automated emersion–immersion maneuvers in a TEC or variations in depth in an AUV. Nevertheless, it can be deduced by considering the level of the tank and its geometric properties. This paper presents a new methodology-based sensorial system (composed of three capacitive sensors and an inclinometer) for accurate determination of the volume of a liquid contained within a cylindrical tank subjected to full variations in its orientation. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology-based sensorial system has been verified by the results obtained from experiments conducted on a laboratory platform, thus demonstrating the high reliability of the model experiment and the relative errors study carried out.

Impact and social visibility

From the perspective of influence or social adoption, and based on metrics associated with mentions and interactions provided by agencies specializing in calculating the so-called "Alternative or Social Metrics," we can highlight as of 2026-04-27:

  • The use, from an academic perspective evidenced by the Altmetric agency indicator referring to aggregations made by the personal bibliographic manager Mendeley, gives us a total of: 2.
  • The use of this contribution in bookmarks, code forks, additions to favorite lists for recurrent reading, as well as general views, indicates that someone is using the publication as a basis for their current work. This may be a notable indicator of future more formal and academic citations. This claim is supported by the result of the "Capture" indicator, which yields a total of: 2 (PlumX).

With a more dissemination-oriented intent and targeting more general audiences, we can observe other more global scores such as:

  • The Total Score from Altmetric: 2.
  • The number of mentions on the social network X (formerly Twitter): 3 (Altmetric).

It is essential to present evidence supporting full alignment with institutional principles and guidelines on Open Science and the Conservation and Dissemination of Intellectual Heritage. A clear example of this is:

  • The work has been submitted to a journal whose editorial policy allows open Open Access publication.
  • Assignment of a Handle/URN as an identifier within the deposit in the Institutional Repository: https://oa.upm.es/85003/

As a result of the publication of the work in the institutional repository, statistical usage data has been obtained that reflects its impact. In terms of dissemination, we can state that, as of
