Abstract
A multiphase fluid is flowed from a flow pipe to a U-bend. Several differential pressures of the multiphase fluid flowing through the flow pipe and U-bend are measured. A mixture density of the multiphase fluid is determined at least based on the measured differential pressures. A total flow rate of the multiphase fluid is determined at least based on the measured differential pressures. In some cases, flow rates of each of the phases of the multiphase fluid can be determined at least based on the measured differential pressures.
