Abstract
A method can be used to determine multi-phase measurements of fluid flowing with respect to a wellbore. Signals can be received, and the signals can be emitted by each variable frequency acoustic emitter of a set of variable frequency acoustic emitters positioned spaced apart in a sensing transducer that is in an interior of a wellbore. The received signals can be converted into a flow rate of each of a set of different fluid phases of a fluid in the wellbore. The multi-phase measurements of the fluid can be determined using the converted flow rate.
