    -----
    This is essentially a line integral for the fluxes along the boundaries of
    each cell. Hence, the resulting output has dimensions of total flux (so,
    if the unit flux happens to be mass per time per face width, the output
    will be in mass per unit time). Because a line integral is undefined where
    there are no cells (i.e., perimeter nodes), the result is given as zeros
    for these nodes. The current algorithm uses fancy indexing (calling
    _calc_net_face_flux_at_cells) and could probably be made faster.

    Notes
    -----
    This is essentially a line integral for the fluxes along the boundaries of
    each cell. Hence, the resulting output has dimensions of total flux (so,
    if the unit flux happens to be mass per time per face width, the output
    will be in mass per unit time). Because a line integral is undefined where
    there are no cells (i.e., perimeter nodes), the result is given as zeros
    for these nodes. The current algorithm uses fancy indexing (calling
    _calc_net_face_flux_at_cells) and could probably be made faster.
