The normal vector on the surface is given by
. If you have a vector field given by
, then the component of that field that is along the normal to the aforementioned surface is given by its scalar product with that surface normal vector, i.e.,
. (In 2D, use two components instead of three.)

The normal vector on the surface is given by (nx,ny,nz). If you have a vector field given by (Vx,Vy,Vz), then the component of that field that is along the normal to the aforementioned surface is given by its scalar product with that surface normal vector, i.e., nx*Vx+ny*Vy+nz*Vz. (In 2D, use two components instead of three.)

Thank you so much! This perfectly solved my concern.
