Abstract

In this study, the recorded backscatter gamma ray pulse height distributions from a detector together with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) has sufficient information to calculate the fluid level in multiphase flows. A multilayer perceptron ANN is used for predict the fluid level from data recorded by detector.
