Water is the most abundant liquid on earth and also the substance with the largest number
of anomalies in its properties. It is a prerequisite for life and as such a most important subject …

Liquid water can be brought beyond the liquid–vapor equilibrium line into a metastable
state, before nucleation of bubbles (cavitation) occurs. We review the experimental work on …

We investigate the limiting mechanical tension (negative pressure) that liquid water can
sustain before cavitation occurs. The temperature dependence of this quantity is of special …

Liquid water at atmospheric pressure can be supercooled to− 41° C (ref.) and superheated
to+ 302° C (ref.). Experiments involving fluid inclusions of water in quartz suggest that water …

Despite its relevance in biology and engineering, the molecular mechanism driving
cavitation in water remains unknown. Using computer simulations, we investigate the …

A complex system of waves propagating inside a water column due to the impact of plane
shock wave is investigated both experimentally and numerically. Flow features, such as …

The unsteady structure of cavitating flows is investigated by coupled experimental and
numerical means. Experiments focus on the structure and dynamics of sheet cavitation on …

We have applied a two-structure approach to the description of the thermodynamic
properties of supercooled and stretched water, metastable toward vapor, ice, or both, by …

In this paper we extend the application of unstructured high-order finite-volume central-
weighted essentially non-oscillatory (CWENO) schemes to multicomponent flows using the …

Predicting cavitation has proved a formidable task, particularly for water. Despite the
experimental difficulty of controlling the sample purity, there is nowadays substantial …
