Abstract:
Systems, computer-implemented methods, and non-transitory computer-readable medium having a stored computer program provide characterization of multiphase fluid flow (MPF) using approximate entropy calculation techniques to enhance measuring and monitoring of a flow regime in a segment of pipe for hydrocarbon-production operations. The systems and methods can be optimized using principal component analysis.

Claim (Index 7):
The system of  claim 1 ,\n where the acoustic receiver comprises a first acoustic receiver, and where the system further comprises a second acoustic receiver disposed proximate to the segment of pipe and operable to receive an acoustic signal transmitted through the MPF, the second acoustic receiver further operable to convert the received acoustic signal to an electrical signal, and a second acoustic transmitter disposed proximate to the segment of pipe and operable to convey an acoustic signal through the MPF in hydrocarbon-production operations, further operable to convey the acoustic signal such that the acoustic signal is receivable by the second acoustic receiver.
