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, giving
This is independent of orientation. Although the surface extends without a bound on , the integrand vanishes identically, so no convergence problem arises for this flux.
