Hello,
Is it really true that it's a quarter cylinder? I have a feeling that not all bow fronts work that way. The best way to figure it out is to find out what is the radius (r) for the curve. Then find out the angle limits (theta1, theta2) within which the curve fits in. Then do the following:
Area = Integral from r'=0 to r'=r of Integral from theta'=theta1 to theta'=theta2 of r'*dtheta'*dr' - (r * cos[(theta2 - theta1)/2] * r * sin[(theta2 - theta1)/2])
Then to get volume, multiply Area by height of tank.
BTW, didn't double check this but I believe it is correct.
