Abstract
Measuring fluid characteristics is of high importance in various industries such as the polymer, petroleum, and petrochemical industries, etc. Flow regime classification and void fraction measurement are essential for predicting the performance of many systems. The efficiency of multiphase flow meters strongly depends on the flow parameters. In this study, MCNP (Monte Carlo N-Particle) code was employed to simulate annular, stratified, and homogeneous regimes. In this approach, two detectors (NaI) were utilized to detect the emitted photons from a cesium-137 source. The registered signals of both detectors were decomposed using a discrete wavelet transform (DWT). Following this, the low-frequency (approximation) and high-frequency (detail) components of the signals were calculated. Finally, various features of the approximation signals were extracted, using the average value, kurtosis, standard deviation (STD), and root mean square (RMS). The extracted features were thoroughly analyzed to find those features which could classify the flow regimes and be utilized as the inputs to a network for improving the efficiency of flow meters. Two different networks were implemented for flow regime classification and void fraction prediction. In the current study, using the wavelet transform and feature extraction approach, the considered flow regimes were classified correctly, and the void fraction percentages were calculated with a mean relative error (MRE) of 0.4%. Although the system presented in this study is proposed for measuring the characteristics of petroleum fluids, it can be easily used for other types of fluids such as polymeric fluids.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
