Not sure I understand.
In the example illustration above, if that duct was plugged up, all of the airflow would follow the side ot the Kammback, and exit at the edge, spilling into the wake just like the design with the duct.
The only difference is the amount of air that would be turbulent.
The illustration was just a doodle. The angles are all off, and the air would most likely not remain attached on the edge just before the 'duct'.
The idea is an attempt to get this same effect :
