Abstract

Significance Commuting during rush hours teaches us that the denser the crowd, the slower the motion. Liquids follow this law, except water below ambient temperature: Increasing density decreases viscosity! This anomaly witnesses the progressive breaking of the hydrogen bond network in water. Because this network develops upon cooling, dramatic effects of pressure on viscosity are expected in water supercooled below its freezing point. However, no data were hitherto available under these extreme conditions. Using a time-of-flight viscometer, we provide viscosity data down to −29 °C and up to 3,000 atmospheres, revealing that pressure can reduce viscosity by nearly one half. We propose a model that treats water as a mixture of two species, and explains its thermodynamic and dynamic properties.
