We study the change in the temperature of maximum density (TMD) of a water-like solvent when small amounts of solute are added to the mixture. The water is modeled as a two length scales potential, which is known to exhibit water-like…
We perform an extensive computational study of binary mixtures of water and short-chain alcohols resorting to two-scale potential models to account for the singularities of hydrogen bonded liquids. Water molecules are represented by a well…
We address the investigation of the solvation properties of the minimal orientational model for water, originally proposed by Bell and Lavis. The model presents two liquid phases separated by a critical line. The difference between the two…
After melting, at ambient pressure, the density of water continues to increase with temperature until it reaches a maximum around 4 {\deg}C. For nearly a century, this phenomenon has been qualitatively attributed to a mixture of ordered and…
Short-chain alcohols at high dilution are among the very few solutes that enhance the anomalous behavior of water, in particular the value of the temperature of maximum density. This peculiar feature, first discovered experimentally in the…
In this paper we investigate the solubility of a hard - sphere gas in a solvent modeled as an associating lattice gas (ALG). The solution phase diagram for solute at 5% is compared with the phase diagram of the original solute free model.…
We use molecular dynamics simulations in two dimensions to investigate the possibility that a core-softened potential can reproduce static and dynamic anomalies found experimentally in liquid water: (i) the increase in specific volume upon…
We investigate a lattice-fluid model of water, defined on a 3-dimensional body-centered cubic lattice. Model molecules possess a tetrahedral symmetry, with four equivalent bonding arms. The model is similar to the one proposed by Roberts…
Using molecular dynamic simulations we study a waterlike model confined between two fixed hydrophobic plates. The system is tested for density, diffusion and structural anomalous behavior and compared with the bulk results. Within the range…
Very recently the effect of equisized charged hard sphere solutes in a mixture with core-softened fluid model on the structural and thermodynamic anomalies of the system has been explored in detail by using Monte Carlo simulations and…
Using Monte Carlo simulations a lattice gas model with only repulsive interactions was checked for the presence of anomalies. We show that this system exhibits the density (temperature of maximum density - TMD) and diffusion anomalies as…
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 report Monte Carlo results for the fluid structure of a system of dimeric particles interacting via a core-softened potential. More specifically, dimers interact through a repulsive pair potential of inverse-power form, modified in such…
Methanol is an amphiphilic solute whose aqueous solutions exhibit distinctive physical properties. The volume change upon mixing, for example, is negative across the entire composition range, indicating strong association. We explore the…
We have studied the composition dependence of density of liquid water-DMSO mixtures at different temperatures by using the isobaric-isothermal (NPT) molecular dynamics computer simulations. The non-polarizable semi-flexible, P1 and P2…
We study the effects of two kinds of interactions in tube-like polymers and demonstrate that they result in the formation of secondary motifs. The first has an entropic origin and is a measure of the effective space available to the…
In this work, we discuss the connection between the anomalies of the thermodynamic properties, experimentally observed in tertiary butyl alcohol (TBA) and water solutions, and the molecular clustering in these solutions, as revealed by…
The thermodynamic liquid-state anomalies and associated structural changes of the Stillinger-Weber family of liquids are mapped out as a function of the degree of tetrahedrality of the interaction potential, focusing in particular on…
In this contribution we review a series of simple one dimensional lattice models that with an appropriate choice of parameters can account for various anomalous features of the behaviour of complex systems such as water. In particular, we…
Water is a complex structured liquid of hydrogen-bonded molecules that displays a surprising array of unusual properties, also known as water anomalies, the most famous being the density maximum at about $4^\circ$C. The origin of these…
