To my knowledge the only reason the flow is adhering is because you're pouring energy into that air to make it rotate into a vortex. Yes, it's pressing against the surface, but no, it's not reducing drag. In general you don't want to induce vortexes. You want to curve the surface gently enough to preserve laminar flow.
