2009-12-02: Surface Integrals: Flux Integrals
Stewart section 17.7
- Key Point In the same way that the line integral F dot dr adds up the magnitude of F in the direction of a curve C times arclength, the surface integral F dot dS adds up the magnitude of F in the direction perpendicular to the surface times the surface area.
- Consider the surface y = 9 - x2 - z2, y>=0, and the vector field F = <-y, 1, x>.
- Game:
- Parameterize this surface as r(u,v) (use u=x, v=z).
- What is the (u,v) domain D?
- Find dS.
- Find F.dS on the surface S.
- After finding F.dS, we can find the total flux through the surface.
- What is the meaning of Flux? If F is a velocity, then F.dS is a volumetric flow rate (m3/s): the flux is the rate the velocity field moves material through the surface.
- Game: Let F = <-z, 1, x> and S be the plane x+y+z=1, in the first octant.
- Parameterize S as r(x,y).
- What is the (x,y) domain D?
- Find dS.
- Find F.dS on S.
- Find the flux through S.
