Velocity will be more, because if you recall, there will be a pressure developed due to potential flow. There nothing to do with viscous flow. If I draw the pressure around this body, we have seen pressure will rise at the front, then drop in the middle, rise again at the aft and go like this, is not it? On around a stream lined body, when there is no separation, we discussed this when we discussed wave making resistance of a ship the pressure distribution around hull form.
