Abstract
A system includes a housing configured to be secured to the casing string. The housing has a ring shape defining a central orifice for passage of the fluid and an interior surface facing the central orifice. A reflectometer is mounted on the interior surface and is configured to emit a microwave signal into the fluid in the central orifice, receive a reflected microwave signal from the central orifice, and determine a microwave reflection parameter. An acoustic transceiver is also mounted on the interior surface and is configured to emit an acoustic signal into the fluid in the central orifice, receive a reflected acoustic signal from the central orifice, and determine an acoustic reflection parameter. A processor is configured to determine the property of the fluid from the microwave reflection parameter and the acoustic reflection parameter.
