Claim 14:
15. A manifold coupling for fluid delivery to a subsurface formation, the manifold coupling comprising:
a manifold coupling passage having a manifold coupling axis;
a first inlet passage positioned to provide fluid flow between a first fluid output of a first hydraulic fracturing pump and the manifold coupling passage, the first inlet passage having a first inlet passage cross-section at least partially defining a first inlet axis extending transverse relative to the manifold coupling axis; and
a second inlet passage positioned opposite the first inlet passage to provide fluid flow between a second fluid output of a second hydraulic fracturing pump and the manifold coupling passage, the second inlet passage having a second inlet passage cross-section at least partially defining a second inlet axis extending transverse relative to the manifold coupling axis, the first inlet axis and the second inlet axis oriented relative to one another such that fluid flowing into the manifold coupling passage from the first inlet passage and the second inlet passage causes swirling of the fluid.
