Molecular dynamics simulation of film water thickness and properties at different interfaces in partially saturated frozen soil systems by Shuting Ji, Sergio Andres Galindo Torres, Jinfeng Chen, Liang Lei, Ling Li

“…The simulations revealed that as the temperature approaches the melting point, the air-water interface tends to possess a thicker layer of unfrozen water, characterized by a higher diffusion coefficient and lower viscosity. In contrast, the film water near the silica-water interface tends to be thinner and remains relatively unaffected by temperature, with only one twentieth of the diffusion coefficient and nearly 20 times the viscosity observed at the air-water interface. …”
