Abstract

A method for estimating a fluid flow velocity may include receiving, with a processing device, a plurality of observations corresponding to a concentration of a constituent of a flowing fluid mixture, and computing a final estimate of an average velocity of the flowing fluid mixture based at least in part on the observations, wherein the constituent is undergoing a chemical reaction and the computing implements a reactive transport model.
