An adaptive model is developed here for the liquid water density fluctuations as momentary dense clusters with helices of hydrogen bonds and nondense tetrahedral clusters of ice. This model can be useful for explanation of liquid water structural anomalies including the high quantity of hydrogen bonds with quasitetrahedral orientation in the nonordered liquid water. The topology of such clusters is essentially differed from the one of the crystalline ice. From this and only this point of view, the liquid water can be considered as a two-structural fluid by dynamic forming the two topological kinds of clusters as a consequence of condensed-matter density fluctuations. Another feature of the dense-water-part clusters is helical ordering of protons which can realize coherent vibrations. A spectral series of such vibrations is determined as a function of the number of molecules into the helical cluster.

A strong influence of minor lead additives on the liquid sodium microstructure is revealed in the molecular dynamics (MD) simulation of the Na0.98Pb0.02 alloy. The obtained results can be explained by the existence of lead-sodium clusters in liquid sodium built up by ionic bonds, Na+–Pb−, due to essential distinction of the alloy components in the electronegativity. On this reason, MD simulation of the Na0.98Pb0.02 alloy is carried out within the framework of a three-component bipolar model, Na + Na+ + Pb−, with Na↔Na+ recharging the nearest-neighbor particles of solvent in every 3 ps (an optimal period) during the numerical run.
