Slowing the flow allows heat transfer to the coolant from the hot engine ,The slowed flow rate allows the heat to transfer OUT of the coolant in the radiator , without the ability of the radiator to pull heat off the coolant it would continue to rise until engine failure . Otherwise you wouldn't need a radiator or fan to improve air flow for heat transfer .
