ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are presented for determining the characteristics of a multi-phase fluid along a well hole having a predefined geometric profile. Various state properties of the fluid, including the temperature, pressure and specific gravity are taken at the wellhead and used as starting values for calculating estimated state properties at various segments along the well hole. Once the state properties are calculated, an estimated mass flow and velocity rate for the fluid and its constituents can be calculated at specific points along the well hole.
