The defining function is independent of , so a normal vector is . It never vanishes here because . Every normal is horizontal, whereas is vertical and tangent to the surface. Their dot product is zero at every point, givingThis is independent of orientation. Although the surface extends without a bound on , the integrand vanishes identically, so no convergence problem arises for this flux.
