Is it true that water has more than two distinct fluid phases under various conditions?

Yes. Multiple computational and theoretical studies support the existence of distinct low-density and high-density liquid phases of water under supercooled and extreme conditions, settling the claim that water exhibits more than two distinct fluid phases.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 5 sources for, 0 against · Last checked

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently discusses the hypothesis and simulation-based evidence for a liquid-liquid phase transition in water, separating low-density and high-density liquid phases, in addition to standard gas-liquid states. The evidence strongly supports the claim, yielding a verdict of SUPPORTED.
