Direct differentiation givesOn the unit disk , polar coordinates give , and . Consequently the volume integral isFor an independent surface integral calculation, the relevant cross product isThe bottom face contributes and the top contributes . On the cylindrical side, put , , and . The flux density is . All terms except integrate to zero because they are odd functions of or , givingThus minus the total outward flux is , in agreement with the volume integral.
