What is Properties of Water from Numerical and Experimental Perspectives about?

Preface Water is essential to life as we know it. Because of this, it has been extensively studied, yet it remains incompletely understood. For example, water does not always behave in accordance with theories of thermodynamics, but deviates from them under particular conditions. Upon cooling, the density of a "normal" liquid increases monotonically and, eventually, the liquid freezes in a denser crystal that sinks. This is not the case for water: upon cooling, the density of liquid water increases but, at about 4 degrees Celsius, the density starts to decrease and the liquid freezes in a crystal that floats instead of sinking. As a result, the surface of water freezes during winter, while the depths maintain a comfortable constant temperature of approximately 4 degrees Celsius that allows life to advance. If water were a "normal" material, it would freeze from the bottom up, killing most aquatic life. These are just two of the many anomalies of water (scientists have now counted at least 72 of them), and scientists are working hard to understand their underlying sources.Aimed at researchers entering the fascinating world of water, this book provides a broad overview of the propert
