No idea. Just a image I found.
Just a doodle.
After looking at it now, and lining it all up on a side image, you would have a much larger area at the far end of the tail.
Also, not sure why the image is posted sideways.
The " 1, 2 and 3 " on that first image was 1) curved tail, 2) channel within the wall of 3) the flat section of the tail.
I notice quite a lot of 'tails here have detached flow - even without a lot of curve, and following a really gentle arc.
I planned to ventilate the walls of my tail so that it would create a slight suction for this very reason.
I chose to curve in my 'tail sides because the sides have twice as much surface area as the roofline.
As others have pointed out, it reduces your wake size considerably.
