1. A method of servicing a wellbore, comprising:

  • placing a plurality of Micro-Electro-Mechanical System (MEMS) sensors in a wellbore composition;

    flowing the wellbore composition in the wellbore; and

    determining one or more fluid flow properties or characteristics of the wellbore composition from data provided by the MEMS sensors during the flowing of the wellbore composition, wherein the fluid flow properties or characteristics include an indication of laminar and/or turbulent flow of the wellbore composition.
