The thermodynamic, dynamic and structural behavior of a water-like system confined in a matrix is analyzed for increasing confining geometries. The liquid is modeled by a two dimensional associating lattice gas model that exhibits density…
We introduce a model of water contemplating true supercooled-liquid states that, as such, are metastable with respect to the crystalline-solid ones. Its numerical solutions reproduce from Speedy-Angell's stability-limit picture to Poole et…
There are at least three fundamental states of matter, depending upon temperature and pressure: gas, liquid, and solid (crystal). These states are separated by first-order phase transitions between them. In both gas and liquid phases the…
In the paper the behavior of density (or specific volume), the heat of evaporation and entropy per molecule for normal and heavy water on their coexistence curves is discussed. The special attention is paid on the physical nature of the…
The most accepted origin for the water anomalous behavior is the phase transition between two liquids (LLPT) in the supercooled regime connected to the glassy first order phase transition at lower temperatures. Two length scales potentials…
The anomalous properties of water in the supercooled state are numerous and well-known. Particularly striking are the strong changes in dynamic properties that appear to display divergences at temperatures close to -- but beyond -- the…
The relation between liquid-liquid phase transitions and waterlike density anomalies in core-softened potentials of fluids was investigated in an exactly solvable one dimensional lattice model and a in a three dimensional fluid with…
We investigate, for two water models displaying a liquid-liquid critical point, the relation between changes in dynamic and thermodynamic anomalies arising from the presence of the liquid-liquid critical point. We find a correlation between…
Particles in pressure-driven channel flow are often inhomogeneously distributed. Two modes of low-Reynolds number instability, absent in Poiseuille flow of clean fluid, are created by inhomogeneous particle loading, and their mechanism is…
Here I show that experimental and simulation data on liquid water using vibrational (infrared and Raman) and X-ray (absorption and emission) spectroscopies, as well as recent data from X-ray scattering, are fully consistent with a two-state…
We find a thermodynamic description of gas-liquid criticality that is different from van der Waals and mean-field theories. At the critical temperature there is no critical point; a liquid phase coexists with a vapor phase with densities…
We investigate the occurrence of waterlike thermodynamic and dynamic anomalous behavior in a one dimensional lattice gas model. The system thermodynamics is obtained using the transfer matrix technique and anomalies on density and…
Supercritical fluids play a significant role in elucidating fundamental aspects of liquid matter under extreme conditions. They have been extensively studied at pressures and temperatures relevant to various industrial applications.…
Failure in disordered solids is accompanied by intermittent fluctuations extending over a broad range of scales. The implied scaling has been previously associated with either spinodal or critical points. We use an analytically transparent…
We use numerical simulation to examine the possibility of a reversible liquid-liquid transition in supercooled water and related systems. In particular, for two atomistic models of water, we have computed free energies as functions of…
Much attention has been devoted to water's metastable phase behavior, including polyamorphism (multiple amorphous solid phases), and the hypothesized liquid-liquid transition and associated critical point. However, the possible relationship…
We perform molecular dynamics simulations to investigate the relationship between structural order and water-like dynamic and thermodynamic anomalies in spherically-symmetric potentials having either one or two characteristic length scales.…
In simulations of a water-like model (ST2) that exhibits a liquid-liquid phase transition, we test for the occurrence of a thermodynamic region in which the liquid can be modelled as a two-component mixture. We assign each molecule to one…
We study the phase diagram of a system of spherical particles interacting in three dimensions through a potential consisting of a strict hard core plus a linear repulsive shoulder at larger distances. The phase diagram (obtained…
