The article describes a fast method for computing the volume of a simple, closed, triangulated 3D mesh using the divergence theorem. It reduces the problem to summing per-triangle surface integrals derived from vertex coordinates and a vector field with constant divergence. The approach is mathematically efficient and suitable for mesh processing workloads.
