In order to measure a fluid flow or flow conditions of a fluid flow through an apparatus, electrodes are provided across which capacitance values are determined. The capacitances are used in conjunction with a predetermined model to determine a revised model for the system. If the modelled to be satisfactory, then the values representative of the flow conditions are output. If it is not, then the model is tuned to reduce the error. A novel arrangement of electrodes is also provided along with apparatus embodying the method. The invention also provides a way of determining fluid properties, for example, density, volume present contained within a vessel or tank whether flowing or stationary.
