The image above shows a layer of honey beneath a layer of water colored with blue dye. The significant difference in density between the two liquids allows them to stay separated into two distinct layers even when disturbed. To create the image, a spoon was dragged in a “C” shape motion through both layers across the bottom of the pan. The light blue areas are where the water has already returned to its steady state while the honey is still reforming due to its higher viscosity. Unexpectedly, the image also shows residual currents in the water along the path of the spoon as well as a small eddy that was created at the end of the spoon’s movement (bottom right). We are able to view this because of the difference in viscosity between the two layers. The water which “flows” more easily along the path of the spoon drags along the top of the honey layer creating a visual indication of the currents.
