Would the water flow around this cylindrical insert be equal? This method would be used to cool the cylindrical insert as uniformly as possible and have the insert easily manufactured.

RE: Would the water flow around this insert be equal?
The vertical flow velocity is unlikely to be equal either, due in part to the turbulence created by that sudden change of diameter / change from round to square.
I would make the in and out pipes at least equal to the height of the cut out for as far back as you can go and make the section square rather than round
how even does it need to be?

How fast is the water flowing? If it's very fast, the thermal path might be dominated by the insert, and by extension, whatever's inside the insert

Flow in high one side, have a slotted or disc with holes in and the outlet on the lower side of the disc located half way down your slot.
There would be equal flow paths from one to the other, but should distribute it a bit better and if you can map the temperature accurately then you could vary hole size slightly to move flow from one area to another.

RE: Would the water flow around this insert be equal?
From what I am uderstanding from all your responses my intial layout should give me results that I am looking as the insert is highly thermal conductive
and the cooling flow is turbulent to optimize transfer from the insert to the coolant. I was mostly not sure if the coolant would take one path only around the insert and not both as I
Thank you all for your responses.

I would go for the long straight inlet pipe or the flow conditioner in the inlet pipe to have the best chance of relatively even flow.
You might want to check it won't start shedding vortices. I don't think you'll have vibration issues, but it won't do the system much good.

If there is little pressure drop then there is little force to even the flow out.
