3D blood vessel simulation

      Hello everyone, I need your help because my project is to be able to simulate an inflammatory reaction in blood vessels and to do this I'm comparing two 3Ds, the one in the photo below and another one I've made. 

      Here's my problem: the blood in the vessels can't get through the two loops as it should, and during the inflammatory reaction there's an influx of blood into these loops, but I think that if I do the same simulation again it won't work. What can I do to "force" the blood into these loops?

      My speed is 2.5mm/s at both inlet and the pressure is 13332 Pa at outlets (real blood vessel data).

      I have energy equations.

      If you have an idea, it would be a great help, thank you!

      You cannot "force" blood or any flow where there is adverse pressure conditions. I recommend analysing your set and checking the pressures in the loop as pressure will drive flow.
