Yes.They intrude into the airstream and create a physical boundary which directs the flow and helps isolate it from hostile pressure gradient across the 'border' which might otherwise induce a span-wise flow,spinning up into power-robbing vortices.
Once the flow is aligned with the fence,it builds momentum which tends to keep it moving in that direction.
