The present invention relates to essential details of the design of an inflatable element (5), which can neither be moved nor deformed by the liquid (3), to its functional operation, and to the resulting predictable and repeatable ability to eliminate turbulent behavior and to influence the behavior of a liquid in a holder (2) or tank suitable for the storage or transport of liquids, in which the element at any liquid level and at any volume of liquid at least completely covers the horizontal liquid surface and in which the element can change both in size and in shape if required necessary by the geometry, the shape or the dimensions of the liquid holder or tank.

An inflatable element for use in the interior of a liquid holder, wherein: the element comprises one or more chambers, and the walls of the one or more chambers are formed of a flexible, deformable, nearly non-elastic, and air-impervious material,a first chamber of the one or more chambers is con
1. An inflatable element for use in the interior of a liquid holder, wherein: the element comprises one or more chambers, and the walls of the one or more chambers are formed of a flexible, deformable, nearly non-elastic, and air-impervious material,a first chamber of the one or more chambers is configured such that: when the first chamber is filled with inflation fluid from a nonfilled, shape-less starting position, the volume of the first chamber increases substantially without an increase in internal pressure to a threshold volume at which a further increase in the volume of the first chamber is limited by a rapid increase in internal pressure in the first chamber, andwhen the element and liquid are disposed within the liquid holder and the internal pressure of the first chamber is between 5 and 200 millibar, the first chamber overlies the entire liquid surface in the liquid holder, andat least one of the one or more chambers interiorly is provided with wire connections between a top wall of the chamber and a bottom wall of the chamber. 2. The inflatable element of claim 1, wherein the first chamber comprises two or more subchambers. 3. The inflatable element of claim 1, wherein: the one or more chambers comprises a second chamber connected to the first chamber and including two or more subchambers, andthe second chamber is configured such that, when the element and the liquid are disposed within the liquid holder and the first and second chambers are inflated, a portion of the interior wall of the liquid holder, which is covered by neither the first chamber nor the liquid, is covered by one or more of the subchambers of the second chamber. 4. The inflatable element of claim 1, wherein: the one or more chambers comprises a second chamber connected to the first chamber and including two or more subchambers, andthe first chamber comprises a central channel that is in fluid communication with each of the subchambers of the second chamber. 5. The inflatable element of claim 1, wherein: the one or more chambers comprises a second chamber connected to the first chamber and including two or more subchambers, andwhen the first and second chambers are inflated, the first chamber has an oblong shape, which extends in a longitudinal direction, and each of the subchambers of the second chamber has a shape that includes an arcuate surface extending away from the first chamber in a lateral direction.
