The thermodynamic suppression effect of cavitation generally appears in cryogenic cavitating flows. Temperature depression, which is the temperature difference between the mainstream and inside the cavity, indicates the thermodynamic…
Liquid water exhibits several important anomalous properties in the vicinity of the melting temperature ($T_{\mathrm{m}}$) of ice Ih, including a higher density than ice and a density maximum at 4~$^{\circ}$C. Experimentally, an isotope…
The Leidenfrost effect-prolonged evaporation of droplets on a superheated surface-happens only when the surface temperature is above a certain transitional value. Here, we show that specially engineered droplets - liquid marbles - can…
Many systems, when initially placed far from equilibrium, exhibit surprising behavior in their attempt to equilibrate. Striking examples are the Mpemba effect and the cooling-heating asymmetry. These anomalous behaviors can be exploited to…
Light primordial black holes heat the surrounding plasma via Hawking radiation, forming localized hotspots whose temperature may far exceed that of the cosmological background. Previous studies of hotspot formation and cooling have treated…
Thermodynamic properties of liquid water as well as hexagonal (Ih) and cubic (Ic) ice are predicted based on density functional theory at the hybrid-functional level, rigorously taking into account quantum nuclear motion, anharmonic…
Water droplet freezing is a common phenomenon in our daily life. In both natural scenarios and industrial production, different surface inclinations bring distinctive deformation and freezing dynamics to frozen droplets. We explore the…
We propose a unified model combining the first-order liquid-liquid and the second-order ferroelectric phase transitions models and explaining various features of the $\lambda$-point of liquid water within a single theoretical framework. It…
Anomalous temperature dependence of heat capacity of glassy systems during a cooling-heating cycle has remained an ill-understood problem for a long time. Most of the features observed in the experimental measurement of the heat capacity of…
Freezing of dispersions is omnipresent in science and technology. While the passing of a freezing front over a solid particle is reasonably understood, this is not so for soft particles. Here, using an oil-in-water emulsion as a model…
Effect of confinement on the liquid-liquid transition of water are studied by simulations in the Gibbs ensemble. Upon cooling along the liquid-vapor coexistence curve, confined water undergoes transition from normal to strongly tetrahedral…
We present a fluid dynamics video which illustrates a kinetic-dominated phase change just prior to solidification inception for a static drop situated on a cold solid substrate. This metastable stage initiated from solid-vapor-liquid…
The effect of freezing on contact line motion is a scientific challenge in the understanding of the solidification of capillary flows. In this letter, we experimentally investigate the spreading and freezing of a water droplet on a cold…
When two electrolyte-immersed electrodes have different temperatures, a voltage $\Delta \psi$ can be measured between them. This electrolyte Seebeck effect is usually explained by cations and anions flowing differently in thermal gradients.…
We analyze thermodynamics of water samples confined in nanopores and prove that although the freezing temperature can be dramatically lower, the suppression of the ice nucleation leading to the freezing temperature depression is a truly…
At the final stages of a supermassive black hole coalescence, the emission of gravitational waves will efficiently remove energy and angular momentum from the binary orbit, allowing the separation between the compact objects to shrink. In…
The extent and the morphology of ice forming in a differentially heated cavity filled with water is studied by means of experiments and numerical simulations. We show that the main mechanism responsible for the ice shaping is the existence…
We consider the temperature dynamics of hypothetical primordial hot areas in the Universe. Such areas can be produced by the primordial density inhomogeneities and can survive to the modern era, in particular due to primordial black hole…
Exposing a solution to a temperature gradient can lead to the accumulation of particles on either the cold or warm side. This phenomenon, known as thermophoresis, has been discovered more than a century ago, and yet its microscopic origin…
The quantum Mpemba effect is a phenomenon characterized by an exponential relaxation from a non-equililbrium state to a steady state. This effect was predicted with an analysis of the Liouvillian superoperator and experimentally…
