Abstract

Methods and apparatus for obtaining data from a density-viscosity (DV) sensor of a downhole tool, wherein the DV sensor comprises a resonating element disposed in a fluid flowing in a flowline of the downhole tool, and determining a resonance frequency and quality factor of the resonating element utilizing a nonlinear regression and/or a plurality of resonance modes exhibited by the obtained data.
