Looks more like laminar flow on the graphics to me. Where's the graphics with the swirls?
I think the orange mist on the box is there to depict the POWERFLOW
I think so too. The higher oil pressure on the narrow side of the inlet hole causes a distortion in the flow pattern. The valve doesn't correct that. Ultimately the oil has to settle down and exit the round outlet pipe hole.
