Classification: CPC G  E  F | IPC E  G

Claim 7:
8. A system comprising:
a fluidic oscillator positionable in a wellbore, the fluidic oscillator comprising:
an inlet housing defining an inlet channel sized to receive fluid from a wellbore;
a feedback system coupled to the inlet channel to oscillate the fluid from the wellbore; and
an outlet housing defining an outlet channel coupled to the feedback system and sized to receive the oscillated fluid from the feedback system, the outlet channel being asymmetric to generate acoustic signals detectable in the wellbore, the outlet housing comprising:
a pair of sides comprising a first side and a second side opposite one another and extending along a path of flow of the fluid, the first side coupled with the feedback system;
a third side coupled to the feedback system and to the second side; and
a fourth side extending from the first side to the second side, the fourth side open to direct the fluid out of the fluidic oscillator; and

a measurement device positionable proximate to the fluidic oscillator to receive the acoustic signals.
