If that is the case and it is a true reduction in cross-sectional area, then he pressure will INCREASE right before the restriction,
which will increase pressure, which will increase velocity. But the flow will be decreased.
It sorta does but if you follow the reflection of the camera flash, I see an angle indicating that the oval is wider than the diameter of the round.
