    What does the infinitesimal surface area element in flux represent?

    Yeah, this is actually the way I originally interpreted flux, I just gave the fluid flow as an example of something my original view of flux may have represented...another example could be wind velocities I suppose. I can't really think of any other physical interpretations and come to think of...

    What does the infinitesimal surface area element in flux represent?

    OK so I took my multivariable calculus class last year and at that time, when we learned about flux I understood it as the sum of the outward facing components of every vector generated by a vector field at every point on a surface. F dot N integrated over the surface area of the surface. I...
