Instant Volume Flow
Concept 
The definition of the volume flow ($J_V$) is the volume element ($\Delta V$) over the time elapsed ($\Delta t$):
$ J_V =\displaystyle\frac{ \Delta V }{ \Delta t }$ |
which, in the limit of an infinitesimal time interval, corresponds to the derivative of the volume ($V$) with respect to the time ($t$):
$ J_V =\displaystyle\frac{ dV }{ dt }$ |

Volume Flow and its Speed
Concept 
The volume ($V$) for a tube with constant the section Tube ($S$) and a position ($s$) is
$ V = s S $ |
If the section Tube ($S$) is constant, the temporal derivative will be
$\displaystyle\frac{dV}{dt} = S\displaystyle\frac{ds}{dt}$
thus, with the volume flow ($J_V$) defined by
$ J_V =\displaystyle\frac{ dV }{ dt }$ |
and with the flux density ($j_s$) associated with the position ($s$) via
$ j_s =\displaystyle\frac{ ds }{ dt }$ |
it is concluded that
$ J_V = S j_s $ |

Flow for inhomogeneous flux density
Concept 
In the case that the flux density ($j_s$) is constant, the volume flow ($J_V$) can be calculated using the section or Area ($S$) according to:
$ J_V = S j_s $ |
If the flux density ($j_s$) varies, sufficiently small sectional elements $dS$ can be considered so that the equation remains valid in the sense that the contribution to flow is:
$dJ_V = j_s dS$
Integrating this expression over the entire section results in
$ J_V =\displaystyle\int j_s dS $ |
