Default Not much

Here are a few good links.

Even thought the topic is radiators, inlet design and pressure recovery information is good.

Default slow it down

Also, you need to remember that the speed of the air in itself does nothing for you. The speed is only relative as a means to increase volume and pressure. To properly utilize it you MUST design a means to slow down the air and increase pressure.

Happy reading.
