Method and apparatus for determining the flow rates and/or composition of
a fluid comprising a multi-component mixture of a gas and at least one
liquid in a pipe. Electromagnetic loss and phase measurements are
performed in at least two directions of the pipe; the degree of annular
flow is determined based on these measurements; the permittivity of the
flow mixture is calculated, including corrections for the degree of
annular flow; the mixture density is measured and compensated for the
degree of annular flow; the temperature and pressure are obtained; the
velocity of liquid and gas are determined, and based on the knowledge of
densities and permittivities of the components of the fluid mixture, and
the result from the above steps, the volume and mass flow rates of the
gas and liquid(s) of the fluid mixture are calculated.
