Abstract
A system for making multi-phase measurements of a fluid includes a flow meter device and a computing device. The flow meter device can include one or more acoustic devices that can generate acoustic signals in a wellbore. The computing device can receive acoustic signals from the flow meter device and determine an arrangement of the one or more acoustic devices with respect to the wellbore. The computing device can interpret the acoustic signals using the determined arrangement of the one or more acoustic devices to make a multi-phase measurement of fluid with respect to the wellbore.
