Summary

Simulation study of phase change from ice to water was carried out using molecular dynamics technique. Starting from ice formation with 576 water molecules, kinetic energy was added step by step to each molecule in order to increase its temperature. The model for water molecule which is usually adopted to study the behaviour of liquid phase can be extended to solid phase. Beyond that level, however, the molecular arrangement started to break and without adding any extra energy to the system, the formation became disordered. The time variation of the melting process is shown graphically in cartesian coordinate.
