If it were an internal duct like an air curtain I could see it, but right in front of the radiator there is a pressure gradient.

It looks like you're trying to reduce the stagnation point down to the variable size of the opening.

Which might work for a transonic needle nose.

Alternatively, you could modulate the flow with an exit flap, like the P-51 Mustang.
