Abstract
A system, method and apparatus for measuring fluid properties of a fluid flow having four phases, including a fractional measurement device configured to determine respective fractional measurements of each of four phases of fluids flowing in a fluid flow; and a behavioral modeling device configured to determine, based on the respective fractional measurements of each of the four phases of fluids, respective flow rates for each of the four phases of fluids.
