Milt,
I just returned from vacation and saw your posting on the Rocket list. I'd like to do a test of blocking part of the airflow and seeing what happens. It would be very interesting indeed!
I've got a camera mounted in the inlet already. Tufting the airflow shouldn't be that hard to do! Finding the time to do it is another thing!

If a center divider works out, what about some baffling attached to it to divert some of the (presumed) forward flow along the engine upper centerline, down and over the cylinder bases? Might be an interesting experiment. If much of the cooling in-flow is being diverted by the aft baffles back toward the front of the engine rather than down through the cylinder fins, giving that flow (especially as it will now be slower), another chance to go where you want it might work. You have 200+ knot airflow coming in the cooling openings being slowed to near zero at the rear of the baffles and rerouted forward. Might not be too hard to get some "thermal work" out of it...
