Abstract

We present molecular dynamics simulations of liquid water at normal and supercooled conditions. Autocorrelation functions (ACFs) of several structural quantities and their fourier transforms are obtained and analysed. Structural correlations and relaxation times increase linearly with degree of supercooling. Power spectra of ACFs show increase in librational motion of liquid water with cooling. These modes intensify with supercooling because of structuring and ordering of water molecules. Overall, liquid water structure is homogenous over the temperatures and pressures studied and undergoes fluctuation–dissipation in its local-density variations [English and Tse, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 037801 (2011)].
