- Need a way to calculate a loss in volume if an object has indents of unknown shape.
I'm modelling an object with functions to get its volume. I've laid it along the x-axis lengthwise, to scale, and have functions that model its curvature well. I can calculate the gross volume with the solid of revolution integrals, but there's one section with 'indents' and I have no idea how to account for this. The section in question is the one modelled by the third function from the right in the graph image. I've taken a top-down image of the object, is that at all useful? It looks somewhat like a cylindrical indent, but the indent might not be completely parallel to the x-axis.
