We studied structural, dynamic and thermodynamic properties of an anomalous fluid with core-softened (CS) interactions,
which has anomalies similar to water, using computer simulations.
In this study we used the Monte Carlo method and molecular dynamics with a Nose-Hoover thermostat
and an Anderson barostat for computer simulations of a CS model for water with two characteristic lengths,
which has more than one anomalous region present in two dimensions.
We used a model potential that belongs to a family of CS potentials, which are Lennard-Jones potentials with an added Gaussian function.
Simulations have shown the CS model to produce at least three structural, dynamical and thermodynamics anomalous regions,
where there are present temperatures of maximum density (TMD), at certain pressures in the low-temperature regime.
