The divergence is . Take the hemisphere's outward orientation, and close it with the unit disk at , whose outward normal is . The divergence theorem then gives . On the disk, , and polar coordinates give
Consequently the curved hemisphere has flux
The reversed hemisphere orientation would reverse the sign.
