Abstract:We develop an analytical statistical-mechanical model to study the dynamic properties of liquid water. In this two-dimensional model, neighboring waters can interact through a hydrogen bond, a van der Waals contact, or an ice-like cage structure or have no interaction. We calculate the diffusion coefficient, viscosity, and thermal conductivity versus temperature and pressure. The trends follow those seen in the water experiments. The model explains that in warm water, heating drives faster diffusion but less i… Show more
