[yt-users] Flux Across Surfaces

I have used yt to determine the flux calculation for a region surrounding a
single star with a given mass loss rate. This region is right outside the
stellar radius (see attached). Comparing the flux calculation to the known
mass loss rate, I see that not all of the mass is accounted for and, what's
more, improved refinement of the simulation enhances this percentage,
however it is still below 70%. I need to calculate the flux for a region
surrounding a large group of stars, so simply increasing the refinement is
really not an option. Any suggestions as to how I can use yt for my flux
diagnostics in a manner that is more accurate?

Best,
Melinda
