Also, even though the outer tube bulges out a bit, if the central area is blocked, the flow around the sides is going to have to make a hard turn to fill in behind the blockage, creating opposing vortices that will further act to reduce flow. Probably not as bad as trying to run fluid the "wrong" way through a Tesla valve but kinda in that direction...
