whats the best way to animate this

[rpmaguire]

the red "fluid" is a mesh and I have connected a slice to a grid, which I have animated moving from left to right.

At the part where It bends though it doesn't portray realistically...
How would I Animated the "Bends" so it would seem like the fluid is traveling through the conduit's.

I was thinking about seperating the mesh at the bends and using multiple animated slices with grids as each part meets each other.. seems kindy messy though.

Or maybe I should finally learn lagoa? lol

Thanks,
