Let $D$ be the disk $x^2+y^2\le 3$. The upper boundary is the graph $z=3-x^2-y^2$, with outward vector vector surface element $(2x,2y,1)dxdy$. Thus its flux isThe lower disk has outward normal vector $-{\mathbf{e}}_z$ and zero flux, since $F_z=0$. The total outward surface integral is therefore $9\pi$.

Independently, $\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F}=2$ and the enclosed volume isConsequently ${\iiint }_V\nabla \cdot \mathbf{F}dV=2V=\boxed{9\pi }$, agreeing with the divergence theorem. Both the orientation of the cap and inclusion of the closing disk have been accounted for.
