A flowmeter includes an inlet for receiving a wellbore fluid therein, an outlet for discharging the wellbore fluid and a stationary interior wall extending between the inlet and the outlet. A plurality of movable walls within the stationary interior wall defines a flow path therethrough. Each movable wall defines a threaded section on a first lateral end and rotatably supports an adjustment beam on a second lateral end. The adjustment beams include threads engaged with the threaded section of an adjacent movable wall. An actuator is operably coupled to an adjustment beam to rotate the adjustment beam and thereby drive the second lateral sides of the movable walls along the threaded sections of adjacent movable walls and adjust a diameter of the flow path. A sensor is operable to detect a parameter indicative of the pressures of the wellbore fluid from which a flowrate of the wellbore fluid may be determined.
