Zusammenfassung:	Fluid distribution determination and optimization using real time temperature measurements. A method of determining fluid or flow rate distribution along a wellbore includes the steps of: monitoring a temperature distribution along the wellbore in real time; and determining in real time the fluid or flow rate distribution along the wellbore using the temperature distribution. A method of optimizing fluid or flow rate distribution includes the steps of: predicting in real time the fluid or flow rate distribution along the wellbore; comparing the predicted fluid or flow rate distribution to a desired fluid or flow rate distribution; and modifying aspects of a wellbore operation in real time as needed to minimize any deviations between the predicted and desired fluid or flow rate distributions.
