The so-called thermodynamic anomalies of water form an integral part of the peculiar behaviour of this both important and ubiquitous molecule. In this paper our aim is to establish whether the recently proposed TIP4P/2005 model is capable…
We numerically study thermodynamic and structural properties of the one-component Gaussian core model (GCM) at very high densities. The solid-fluid phase boundary is carefully determined. We find that the density dependence of both the…

Water is necessary both for the evolution of life and its continuance. It possesses particular properties that cannot be found in other materials and that are required for life-giving processes. These properties are brought about by the…
Equations of state for hydrogen bonding fluids are typically described by two energy scales. A short range highly directional hydrogen bond energy scale, as well as a reference energy scale which accounts for dispersion and orientationally…
The effect of glycerol, water and glycerol-water binary mixtures on the structure and dynamics of biomolecules has been well studied. However, a lot remains to be learned about the effect of varying glycerol concentration and temperature on…
The origin of the dramatic changes in the behavior of liquids as they approach their vitreous state - increases of many orders of magnitude in transport properties and dynamic time scales - is a major unsolved problem in condensed matter.…
When analyzing the broadband absorption spectrum of liquid water (10^10 - 10^13 Hz), we find its relaxation-resonance features to be an indication of Frenkel's translation-oscillation motion of particles, which is fundamentally inherent to…
We use molecular simulation to compute the thermodynamic properties of 7 rigid models for water (SPC/E, TIP3P, TIP4P, TIP4P/2005, TIP4P/Ew, TIP5P, OPC) over a wide range of temperature and pressure. Carrying out Expanded Wang-Landau…
Experiments in bulk water confirm the existence of two local arrangements of water molecules with different densities, but, because of inevitable freezing at low temperature $T$, can not ascertain whether the two arrangements separate in…
