Can it be inferred that each discrete flow can be associated with ram effect, and turbo effect? Hopefully not a dumb question.
The secondary flow doesn't get anywhere near the turbomachinery and any 'ram' effect is limited to whatever you get from decelerating the freestream flow down to Mach 1.0 and thence the static pressure at the intake throat bleed.

As to the primary flow I'm not going down that road again

So I think the answer to your question is "No"
