Suppose the oriented surface is described as, the outside of an upper hemisphere $S:x^2+y^2+z^2=1$ inside the cylinder $x^2-x+y^2=0$

enter image description here

The vector field is : ${\vec F}=<x^2,y^2,z^2>$

enter image description here

How to calculate the surface integral of the vector field: $$\iint\limits_{S^+} \vec F\cdot \vec n {\rm d}S $$

enter image description here

Is it the same thing to:

$$\iint\limits_{S^+}x^2{\rm d}y{\rm d}z+y^2{\rm d}x{\rm d}z+z^2{\rm d}x{\rm d}y$$

There is another post here with an answer by@MichaelE2 for the cases when the surface is easily described in parametric form. How to handle this case?

    $\begingroup$ Note that {x, y, Sqrt[1 - x^2 - y^2]} is one parameterization of the upper hemisphere. There's another in spherical coordinates, and so forth. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ For this case, does that mean S = {{x, y, z} -> {Cos[u] v/2 +1/2, Sin[u] v/2, Sqrt[ 1 - (Cos[u] v/2 +1/2)^2 - (Sin[u] v/2)^2]}, {u, 0, 2 Pi}, {v, 0, 1}}; F = {x^2, y^2, z^2}; $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 19, 2017 at 1:55

You can try using ImplicitRegion and Integrate:

region = ImplicitRegion[x^2 + y^2 + z^2 == 1 && x^2 - x + y^2 <= 0 && z >= 0, {x, y, z}];

Integrate[#, {x,y,z} ∈ region]& /@ ({x^2, y^2, z^2} . {x, y, z})

(* 38/105 + (5 π)/32 *)

Note that the normal vector is just {x, y, z} for a unit sphere. I also map Integrate over the summands to make things easier for Integrate.

    $\begingroup$ Heck... this is far simpler than the traditional integration technique I was working on. (+1) $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 19, 2017 at 0:14

  • $\begingroup$ One more question: why Integrate[#, {x, y, z}∈ ImplicitRegion[ x^2 + y^2 + z^2 == 1 && x^2 - x + y^2 <= 0 && z >= 0, {x, y, z}]] &@({x^2, y^2, z^2}.{x, y, z}) is slower than the code in the answer? there is only one / difference @yode @CarlWoll $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 19, 2017 at 22:45

    $\begingroup$ Integrate[x^3+y^3+z^3, {x,y,z} ∈ region] is harder for Integrate than doing Integrate[x^3, {x, y, z} ∈ region] + Integrate[y^3, {x, y, z} ∈ region] + Integrate[z^3, {x, y, z} ∈ region]. $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ @CarlWoll When I rewrite the direction vector of your surface to another equivalent form, the result is different from yours. Why can't we use {-(x/Sqrt[-x^2 - y^2 + 1]), -(y/Sqrt[-x^2 - y^2 + 1]), 1} instead of {x, y, z} : Integrate[#, {x, y, z} \[Element] region] & /@ ({region = ImplicitRegion[ x^2 + y^2 + z^2 == 1 && x^2 - x + y^2 <= 0 && z >= 0, {x, y, z}]; Integrate[#, {x, y, z} \[Element] region] & /@ ({x^2, y^2, z^2}.{x, y, z}), y^2, z^2}.{-(x/Sqrt[-x^2 - y^2 + 1]), -(y/Sqrt[-x^2 - y^2 + 1]), 1}) $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 30, 2020 at 1:45

With the new-in-13.3 SurfaceIntegrate:

preg = 
  ParametricRegion[{u, v, Sqrt[1 - u^2 - v^2]}, 
                   {{u, 0, 1}, {v, -Sqrt[u - u^2], Sqrt[u - u^2]}}];

SurfaceIntegrate[{x^2, y^2, z^2}, {x, y, z} ∈ preg]
(* 38/105 + (5 π)/32 *)

enter image description here

Sadly the following doesn't work for the moment:

SurfaceIntegrate[{x^2, y^2, z^2}, {x, y, z} ∈ 
  ImplicitRegion[x^2 + y^2 + z^2 == 1 && x^2 - x + y^2 <= 0 && z >= 0, {x, y, z}]]
(* Input returned. *)

Just to illustrate use of MichaelE2's DoubleContourIntegral:

DoubleContourIntegral[{x^2, y^2, 
  z^2}, {({x, y, z} -> {u, v, Sqrt[1 - u^2 - v^2]}), {u, 0, 
   1}, {v, -Sqrt[u - u^2], Sqrt[u - u^2]}}]

yields: 38/105 + (5 π)/32

Note the limits of integration.

  • $\begingroup$ Thank you. I use: S = {{x, y, z} -> {Cos[v] u/2 + 1/2, Sin[v] u/2, Sqrt[1 - (Cos[v] u/2 + 1/2)^2 - (Sin[v] u/2)^2]}, {u, 0, 1}, {v, 0, 2 Pi}};F = {x^2, y^2, z^2}; \[DoubleContourIntegral]F \[DifferentialD]S but is very slow. $\endgroup$ Commented Apr 19, 2017 at 6:20
