IIRC it's the opposite to what you'd assume, so they look like they will push air out

Direction of the grooves are irrelevant.

The direction of the internal vanes are what matters. On the assumption the vanes are not radial/straight, then they should be facing so they are swept backward relation to the direction of movement.
