Does alpha induced angle/"effective airflow" really exist in real life on 3D wing or this is just mathematical concept for calculate induced drag?

(same as lifting line theory-circulation theory is just math concept for calcualte lift ,but everyone knows that airflow dont move around wing in circle...)

Question is ,if I put AoA-sensor in front of leading edge at same position at 2D and 3D wing,will be values different or equal?

(in my home made wind tunnel ,I cant see difference when I put visual AoA indicator in-front of leading edge at 2D compare to 3D wing..so this is reason why I ask is this real thing(maybe angle is too small to see) or just math concept...all this mess with questions about induced drag on this forum ,starts when I do this experiments..)
