== Better Way == 1. Define Scaler Mesh expression backFlow=min(0,dot({px,py,pz},normalize((coord(Mesh)-pos_p)))) 2. Define radius from the center of Planet rp=magnitude((coord(Mesh)-pos_p)) 3. Add Operators -> Slicing -> Isosurface Select by Values Variable as "rp" 4. Do query -> Weighted Variable Sum == Steps to get backflow flux == 1. define expression backFlow=2*3.1415926*x*rho*vy 2. pseudocolor plot for variable backFlow 3. line plot of backFlow 4. run backFlow.py in commands. It will save the time and backflowflux to picked.txt
