The enclosed volume lies above and below . In cylindrical coordinates, its limits are , , , with volume element . The divergence theorem givesThus the volume is , and the outward flux is .
A direct check separates the boundary into its cap and base. On the base, . On the graph , the upward vector area element is , so the cap flux is , in agreement with the volume calculation.
