Orient the triangular boundary from to to and back to . This orientation corresponds to the positive normal vector . The cyclic coordinate rotation sends the three directed edges to one another and transforms the vector field by the same rotation. Since rotations preserve dot products, the three edge contributions to the line integral are equal.
On the first edge use , , , . Then
Its integral is , so the required circulation is
For a sufficiently smooth vector field on an oriented piecewise smooth surface , with induced boundary orientation on , the Stokes theorem states
Therefore the requested surface integral, with all normal components positive, is also .
To verify it directly, parametrize the triangle by on , , . Its two tangent vectors are and , giving the vector area element
Differentiation of the vector field gives . On the triangle , so its dot product with is . Consequently
confirming both the magnitude and the orientation sign.
For an oriented piecewise smooth surface and a continuously differentiable vector field, Stokes theorem states
where the boundary orientation is induced by through the right-hand rule. Choose the upward orientation of the elliptic paraboloid. Its band has cylindrical radius , and a parametrization is
Its oriented surface element and scalar area element are
The requested sketch shows the open band, not a capped solid.
Figure 1.

. Details.
For the specified vector field, direct differentiation gives . Hence
To check this by Stokes theorem, parametrize a counterclockwise circle of radius at height by . Along it , and
Using gives . The induced outer circle is counterclockwise as viewed from above, and the inner circle is clockwise. Therefore
This verifies the direct surface integral and the Stokes flux through an annular paraboloid. Reversing the chosen surface orientation reverses the final sign.
Take the unit normal to point outwards. The divergence of the field is
The divergence theorem turns the closed surface integral into a volume integral over :
For a direct check of the surface integral, on the outward component is , contributing . On it vanishes. On both and , . On , , whereas on the field component is and the outward normal is , giving a contribution . The six face contributions are therefore , again totaling 2. The positive bottom-face contribution is a consequence of its outward orientation.
The divergence of a cross product identity and the stated static field equations give
For an outward-oriented closed surface, the divergence theorem therefore gives the flux of the specified Poynting vector normalization:
No open-surface conclusion follows from this equation without including its closing pieces.
For the particular fields, direct calculation gives
The fields also have , , and , consistently with the required equations. Close the outward spherical patch by the two planar half-disks on and , forming the quarter unit ball . Its total closed flux is
where in this integral is cylindrical radius. The face has outward normal and zero flux because there. The face has outward normal , so its flux is
Subtracting these planar contributions from the closed flux gives the requested open-patch answer
As a direct check, on the unit sphere the outward normal is and . With spherical angles , , its surface integral is . The curved patch's vanishing flux is a cancellation, not an inference that its flux density vanishes everywhere.
Let use the Heaviside step function, and , so that points from the body into the fluid. The kinematic boundary condition gives on the surface. In the exterior, mass conservation and the Euler equations for an inviscid fluid are
Products with are understood distributionally, using and . With , the extended continuity equation is
The corresponding extended momentum equation is
because its advective surface term is . Differentiate continuity in time and substitute the divergence of momentum. Subtracting gives the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings equation
where the inviscid Lighthill stress tensor is
If denotes total pressure, this tensor includes the constant ambient pressure . Its contribution cancels the corresponding surface term exactly. For radiation integrals it is convenient to subtract from both terms, making with . The displayed source identity is unchanged by this consistent pressure-gauge subtraction.
Assume no incoming sound and no free initial acoustic field. Put , , , and . Convolution with the retarded acoustic Green function gives the three source integrals, for an observer outside the body:
These are the surface thickness, surface loading and volume quadrupole contributions. The retarded surface Dirac delta distributions must remain inside the integrals: integrating them over a moving retarded surface produces the moving-surface retarded Jacobian, and is not generally the same as simply substituting one retarded time into an instantaneous surface integral.
For an acoustic compact-source approximation, suppose the dominant sources have size , source frequency scale , and . Also require and the acoustic far field . Then , , and the leading source integrals use the common time . Slow source motion relative to is implicit in this leading retardation approximation. Define
Thus is net displaced mass per unit time, is the fluid pressure force on the body, and is the integrated excess Lighthill stress tensor. The minus sign in fixes the requested loading convention; the force on the fluid is opposite. On the radiating terms, , giving
Spatial derivatives of produce near-field terms of orders and , omitted here. Neglecting source delays is a separate approximation from discarding those observer near-field terms. If a leading integrated source vanishes by symmetry, its first nonzero delay correction can be as important as another retained multipole.
For the translating sphere, write its center as , with a unit vector, and its velocity as . Let , and . Impermeability gives . Since its volume is constant,
in the leading compact formula. The individual local thickness sources have scale , but their net monopole cancels.
At first order in amplitude and leading order in , the exterior incompressible velocity potential is , where is measured from the mean center. It has at . Linear Bernoulli equation gives there. Since ,
This is the added mass of a sphere. The explicit leading loading contribution is
It scales as . In homentropic small-amplitude flow the volume stress is quadratic to leading order, over volume , so the volume acoustic quadrupole has scale
It is smaller than the linear dipole by and can contain a second harmonic.
For completeness, the exact thickness-source integral has a nonzero first delay correction even though . Its first spatial moment is
Expand its integrand at . The leading nonzero translating-sphere acoustic thickness dipole is therefore
It too scales as . Thus zero net-volume monopole does not mean zero thickness radiation. The full leading linear sound, summing thickness and loading, is
The leading compact equation gives the requested zero and added-mass terms; this extra delay calculation is necessary to obtain the complete linear field when its nominal monopole has cancelled.
The divergence theorem states that a continuously differentiable vector field on a bounded region with piecewise smooth boundary satisfies
with the unit normal pointing out of . Apply it separately to , where is each constant Cartesian basis vector. Since and , the three component identities combine to give
For the specified scalar field, . The term integrates to zero by reflection symmetry. At height , the region has a disk cross-section of area , and . Therefore the volume integral is
To check the surface integral independently, split the boundary into the base disk and the curved graph . On the base , so its contribution vanishes. The region lies below the curved graph, whose outward vector surface element of a graph is
Over the disk , the and components of are odd in and integrate to zero. Its component gives, in polar coordinates,
Thus the two explicitly evaluated integrals agree, with the outward orientation included.
Differentiate the position vector with respect to each of the spherical polar coordinates. The derivatives are
Their lengths give the scale factors of orthogonal coordinates:
Dividing the derivatives by these lengths yields
Each has unit length. For example, ; the other two dot products vanish because their first two terms cancel. Thus these are mutually orthogonal vectors, and the total differential has the required form. The coordinates degenerate at and on the polar axis, but this does not affect an area integral.
On the parametrized surface , use as parameters. The surface integral area element is
For , its lateral area, with no closing disk, is therefore
At the surface collapses to a line and its area is zero.
For an oriented smooth surface with piecewise smooth, consistently oriented boundary, Stokes theorem gives
for a continuously differentiable vector field defined on a neighborhood of . Choose the upward normal vector here. The surface is an annular band of an elliptic paraboloid, parametrized by
Using as the oriented vector area element gives
The sketch below shows the open band, not a capped solid. Its upper circle has radius one and its lower circle radius one third.
Figure 1.
Annular paraboloid with upward normal and opposite induced orientations on the outer and inner boundary circles
. Details.
Differentiating the given vector field yields
The surface integral is therefore
For the boundary line integral, the upward normal vector induces counterclockwise traversal of the outer circle and clockwise traversal of the inner circle, as viewed from above. On a circle of radius , parametrized counterclockwise, is constant and
Since each fourth power integrates to , the two-circle line integral is
confirming Stokes theorem and the Stokes flux through an annular paraboloid. Reversing the chosen orientation changes both integrals to .
Take the normal vector outward from the cylinder-and-cone solid. The surface consists of the cylindrical side and conical roof, with no bottom disk; this convention fixes the otherwise unspecified orientation of a surface. The boundary is the radius-two circle at . Reversing every normal vector reverses the final sign.
Figure 1.
Outward-oriented cylindrical side and conical roof, with the open bottom circle as the sole boundary
. Details.
For , its curl is . For the cylindrical parametrized surface, use , with , and use as the outward area vector. Its flux is
For the cone, let , and . Its outward area vector is . Thus
The total surface integral is therefore with the outward convention, or for the opposite convention.
For Stokes theorem, the induced bottom-circle orientation is counterclockwise as viewed from above, opposite to the orientation of an outward bottom cap. Use with increasing . Then
agreeing with the two parametrized fluxes. The seam at is internal and cancels between the two pieces; the cone tip does not supply another boundary curve.
Direct use of partial derivatives gives
With the upward oriented surface element found in part (b), the curl flux integrand over the annulus becomes
Every term in the numerator is odd in or , so its integral over the symmetric annulus is zero. Thus the surface integral is
Each boundary circle has constant , hence . Its line integral is therefore , with no contribution from the third field component. An anticlockwise radius- circle gives . The outward boundary orientation is anticlockwise at and clockwise at , so
The two computed values agree, verifying Stokes theorem with both boundary components. A downward choice would give on both sides.
At every regular point of the double circular cone, its normal is perpendicular to by part (a). Therefore the integrand of the flux integral vanishes pointwise:
The vertex, if included, is a single point of zero surface area and does not alter the surface integral. The answer is independent of both the subset and its orientation. Tangency, rather than a cancellation between different parts of the surface, explains the zero flux.
Stokes theorem equates the circulation around the induced boundary orientation of an oriented surface to the normal flux of curl:
The usual version requires a piecewise smooth oriented surface and a vector field continuously differentiable on a neighbourhood of it. We use the upward orientation wherever the surface is a graph; each outer circle is counterclockwise viewed from above, and an inner circle is clockwise.
Write . The surface of revolution has with . For , it is a disk-shaped cap of a two-sheeted hyperboloid, running from to . For , it is a right circular cone, , including its apex. For , it is an annular strip of a one-sheet hyperboloid, between the circles and .
Figure 1.

. Details.
For , differentiation of the graph gives and , so the upward vector surface element of a graph and its scalar area are
For this graph expression is singular at the lower circle because the surface has a vertical tangent there, rather than a singular geometric surface. A regular parametrization is
It proves that the graph surface integral is interpreted by its integrable endpoint limit. The same parametrization works away from the pole or apex in the other regimes.
Direct differentiation of the first vector field gives
Its surface integral is twice the projected area, namely for and for . On an oriented circle of radius , . The outer circulation is ; an inner circle, when present, contributes . Thus
At , excise a small apex circle of radius , apply Stokes theorem to the smooth truncated cone, and let . The removed flux and its inner circulation are both , so the limiting equality holds. This avoids silently applying a smooth-surface theorem at the cone's nonsmooth apex.
The second vector field is the azimuthal inverse-radius vector field, . Away from the axis,
The other two curl components vanish because the field is independent of and has zero component. On any positively oriented circle around the axis, , so its circulation is , independent of radius. Therefore
For the surface avoids the axis, so Stokes theorem applies directly and returns zero curl flux. For the disk cap meets the axis, and for the apex lies on it: is undefined there, so the neighbourhood hypothesis of Stokes theorem fails. Removing a small circle gives cancelling inner and outer circulations; the inner circulation remains as its radius tends to zero. Hence it cannot be discarded as it could for . A nonzero circulation here is compatible with zero curl away from the excluded axis.
In cylindrical coordinates, and . The chain rule gives and . Therefore
This is cylindrically radial divergence, valid for .
The bounded domain is outside the unit cylinder, below the inverse-square surface and above the lower plane:
The upper plane touches only the rim ; it is not an extra positive-area top face. Revolving the shaded meridional region below around the axis gives the three-dimensional domain.
Figure 1.
Meridional section of the annular volume between the unit cylinder, inverse-square surface and lower plane
. Details.
With the Jacobian determinant of cylindrical coordinates,
Zero divergence gives , hence the most general solution on the positive radial interval is
Although this vector field is singular on the axis if , the entire closure of lies at , so it is smooth on a neighbourhood of and the divergence theorem applies.
Its volume integral of divergence is zero. Compute the outward surface integral directly. On the inner cylinder, , , and the flux is . On the curved roof , the outward vector surface element of a graph is
Therefore its flux is
The horizontal bottom has zero flux and the top rim has zero surface area. Summing gives
which verifies the divergence theorem with every boundary contribution accounted for.
Linearity of Stokes flow and rotational symmetry, including reflection in mathematics invariance of the spherical geometry, determine the possible rigid motions before any calculation. Translation is a polar vector; its linear dependence on a single vector must be . A traceless second-rank tensor cannot produce a polar vector by an isotropic linear map: tensor contraction with the identity matrix vanishes and tensor contraction with the totally antisymmetric tensor vanishes because is a symmetric second-rank tensor. Angular velocity is an axial vector. Neither nor a symmetric can produce one by an isotropic linear map. Products such as are excluded by Linearity of Stokes flow. Thus .
Use the Unscaled Papkovich–Neuber representation, with harmonic functions and :
Indeed and because each potential is a harmonic function. Put and . The decaying harmonic functions with the necessary angular dependence are , and . The last is a harmonic function precisely because . A Stokeslet is excluded by the force-free condition, and a rotlet by the torque-free condition. Try
The resulting Stokes flow is
At , the coefficient of fixes ; the remaining constant vector gives . In the mode, matching gives and . Therefore the complete two-mode tensorial squirmer flow is
The boundary condition is satisfied in the laboratory frame, so the Stokes flow tends to zero at infinity. The potential dipole in the mode gives an irrotational flow and decays as ; the leading mode is a stresslet, decaying as . Neither carries a net force or torque. Direct surface integral averaging with the surface slip velocity formula gives the same translation, providing an independent check. Uniqueness of Stokes flow then identifies this decaying solution.
The surface is an annular band of the downward-opening paraboloid, bounded by the circles and . Choose the upward orientation.

. Details.
The curl of is
For the graph , the upward vector surface integral element is
Over the annulus , the odd term integrates to zero. Therefore
Parametrize the upward-oriented paraboloid by
Then
On the surface,
The cubic trigonometric terms integrate to zero over , so the surface integral is
Use the spherical coordinates parametrization
Then , so the outward unit normal vector is and the surface area element is . Since throughout this band, the vector field is smooth near it. The surface integral of the curl is
For the induced boundary orientation, the lower circle is traversed with increasing , and the upper circle with decreasing . One way to check the signs is that the outward conormal is at the lower circle and at the upper circle; the positive unit tangent vector is .
Along a circle of fixed , . Therefore the circulation is
which equals the boxed surface integral and verifies Stokes theorem with the required orientation.
For a bounded region with piecewise smooth boundary, suppose is a continuously differentiable vector field on an open neighbourhood of its closure. The divergence theorem, with outward unit normal vector , is
The surface integral measures total outward flux. Edges and isolated vertices have zero surface area and do not affect the integral.
Use cylindrical coordinates. The real square root restricts the projection to , and there . Since , the volume integral is
For an independent boundary calculation, split into an upper hemisphere and a lower right circular conical surface . They meet in the circle and there is no additional planar face.
On , use the parametrization
The outward unit normal vector is , and the surface area element is . The and components of vanish by the angular integrals of and . The component is
On , the parametrization has outward vector area element
Its negative vertical component points out below the solid. Multiplying by and using the same angular symmetry in integration gives
Therefore the independently evaluated surface integral is
in agreement with the volume integral. The isolated apex of the cone does not contribute to the surface integral.
For the surface, a source element has mass . Superposing its Newtonian gravitational potential gives the surface integral
Here is the source surface area element, the source position vector, and the gravitational constant. The same zero-at-infinity convention applies.
