Why does water not flow to the right in this pipe?

What affects flow in a pipe?
Fluid flow in pipes is affected by many different factors: The viscosity, density, and velocity of the fluid. Changes in the fluid temperature will change the viscosity & density of the fluid. The length, inner diameter, and in the case of turbulent flow, the internal roughness of the pipe.What is the direction of water flow in the pipe?
Like any fluid, liquid or gas, it flows in the direction from higher pressure to lower pressure.How do you increase water flow in a pipe?

Certain valves are used to allow the flow of water in one direction only. These valves prevent the flow of water in the opposite direction. A common type of valve is a check or backflow preventer. These valves are unidirectional valves and allow the water to flow in one direction only.The Physics of How Water Flows Through Pipes
