[0043] As described in commonly-owned U.S. Pat. No. 6,609,069 to Gysling, entitled “Method and Apparatus for Determining the Flow Velocity Within a Pipe”, and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10 / 007,736, filed on Nov. 11, 2001, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, unsteady pressures along a pipe caused by coherent structures (e.g., turbulent eddies and vortical disturbances) that convect with a fluid flowing in the pipe, contain useful information regarding parameters of the fluid. The present invention provides various means for using this information to measure parameters of a stratified flow, such as, for example, velocity, level / degree of stratification, and volumetric flow rate.
[0044] Referring to FIG. 1, an apparatus 10 for measuring at least one parameter associated with a flow 13 flowing within a duct, conduit or other form of pipe 14, is shown. The parameter of the flow 13 may include, for example, at least one of: velocity of the flow 13, volumetr...
