Claim 10:
11. A system comprising:
a fluid handling system comprising:
a fluid supply vessel, wherein the fluid supply vessel is disposed on a surface;
pumping equipment, wherein the pumping equipment is attached to the fluid supply vessel and disposed on the surface;
a wellbore supply conduit, wherein the wellbore supply conduit is attached to the pumping equipment and disposed in a formation; and
a flowpath element, wherein the flowpath element fluidly couples the wellbore supply conduit to the formation;
a pressure sensor, wherein the pressure sensor obtains pressure measurements during a pumping operation; and

an information handling system configured to:
identify one or more pressure dissipation mechanisms in the fluid handling system from at least the pressure measurements, wherein the one or more pressure dissipation mechanisms comprise a perforation resistance and a tortuosity resistance;
identify one or more active flow elements from the pressure dissipation mechanisms;
perform a matching algorithm with the information handling system using the pressure dissipation mechanisms; and
initialize the matching algorithm with an estimate of a coefficient.
