Let be a bounded region with a piecewise smooth closed boundary, and let be a continuously differentiable vector field on an open neighbourhood of its closure. With the outward unit normal vector, the divergence theorem states
The boundary surface integral is the total outward flux. All boundary components are included; on the boundary of a cavity, the outward unit normal vector points into the cavity.
