Coiling Honey: Mechanics and Experiments

This lecture delves into the mechanics of coiling honey, a phenomenon where the high viscosity of the liquid causes it to coil when pulled from a height, leading to bending and buckling effects. The instructor explains the different regimes involved, from the viscous regime with slow coiling to the gravitational regime with higher coiling. Through experimental setups, the instructor explores how parameters like height drop, flow rate, and temperature affect the size of the coil.
