Method and system for detecting fluid injection from stationary to rotating members

A method for detecting fluid transfer in a rotating system, said method comprising the steps of:

• transferring fluid from a stationary member to a rotating member;
• detecting a transfer of fluid from said stationary member to said rotating member utilizing a sensor;
• and
• signaling a controller that said transfer of fluid has been detected, in response to detecting said transfer of fluid, thereby permitting said controller to compensate future fluids placements in said rotating system according to at least one measured latency.
