Claim 18:
19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for dynamic water-cut monitoring that includes logic that, when executed by a computing device, causes the computing device to perform at least the following:
(a) determine an initial guess for water-cut;
(b) estimate at least one dynamic pressure loss across a distance between pressure two sensors;
(c) estimate at least one potential energy pressure loss across the distance between the two sensors;
(d) estimate a value for water-cut from the at least one dynamic pressure loss and the at least one potential energy pressure loss;
(e) determine whether the initial guess is within a predetermined threshold of the value for water-cut;
(f) in response to determining that the initial guess is within the predetermined threshold of the value for water-cut, output the value for water-cut; and
(g) in response to determining that the initial guess is not within the predetermined threshold of the value for water-cut, repeat (b)-(f) to recalculate water-cut using the value for water-cut as the initial guess.
