Abstract
By employing non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations and time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau (TDGL) theory for solidification kinetics [Cryst. Growth Des. 20, 7862 (2020)], we predict the kinetic coefficients of FCC(100) crystal-melt interface (CMI) of soft-spheres modeled with an inverse-sixth-power repulsive potential. The collective dynamics of the local interfacial liquid phase at the equilibrium FCC(100) CMIs are calculated based on a recently proposed algorithm [J. Chem. Phys. 157, 084 709 (2022)] and are employed as the resulting parameter that eliminates the discrepancy between the predictions of the kinetic coefficient using the NEMD simulations and the TDGL solidification theory. A speedup of the two modes of the interfacial liquid collective dynamics (at wavenumbers equal to the principal and the secondary reciprocal lattice vector of the grown crystal) is observed. With the insights provided by the quantitative predictive theory, the variation of the solidification kinetic coefficient along the crystal-melt coexistence boundary is discussed. The combined methodology (simulation and theory) presented in this study could be further applied to investigate the role of the inter-atomic potential (e.g., softness parameter s = 1/n of the inverse-power repulsive potential) in the kinetic coefficient.

Abstract
The viscosity and thermal conductivity coefficients of the Lennard-Jones fluid are extracted through symbolic regression (SR) techniques from data derived from simulations at the atomic scale. This data-oriented approach provides closed form relations that achieve fine accuracy when compared to well-established theoretical, empirical, or approximate equations, fully transparent, with small complexity and high interpretability. The novelty is further outlined by suggesting analytical expressions for estimating fluid transport properties across the whole phase space, from a dilute gas to a dense liquid, by considering only two macroscopic properties (density and temperature). In such expressions, the underlying physical mechanisms are reflected, while, at the same time, it can be a computationally efficient alternative to costly in time and size first principle and/or molecular dynamics simulations.

Abstract
Polydisperse systems of particles interacting by the purely repulsive exponential (EXP) pair potential are studied in regard to how structure and dynamics vary along isotherms, isochores, and isomorphs. The sizable size polydispersities of 23%, 29%, 35%, and 40%, as well as energy polydispersity 35%, were considered. For each system an isomorph was traced out covering about one decade in density. For all systems studied, the structure and dynamics vary significantly along the isotherms and isochores but are invariant to a good approximation along the isomorphs. We conclude that the single-component EXP system's hidden scale invariance (implying isomorph invariance of structure and dynamics) is maintained even when a sizable polydispersity is introduced into the system.

Abstract
This paper continues the investigation of the exponentially repulsive EXP pair-potential system of Paper I [A. K. Bacher et al., J. Chem. Phys. 149, 114501 (2018)] with a focus on isomorphs in the low-temperature gas and liquid phases. As expected from the EXP system's strong virial potential-energy correlations, the reduced-unit structure and dynamics are isomorph invariant to a good approximation. Three methods for generating isomorphs are compared: the small-step method that is exact in the limit of small density changes and two versions of the direct-isomorph-check method that allows for much larger density changes. Results from the latter two approximate methods are compared to those of the small-step method for each of the three isomorphs generated by 230 one percent density changes, covering one decade of density variation. Both approximate methods work well.

Abstract
The dynamical arrest in classical fluids is studied using a simple modification of the mode coupling theory (MCT) aimed at correcting its overestimation of the tendency to glass formation while preserving its overall structure. As in previous attempts, the modification is based on the idea of tempering the static pair correlations used as input. It is implemented in this work by computing the static structure at a different state point than the one used to solve the MCT equation for the intermediate scattering function, using the pure hard-sphere glass for calibration. The location of the glass transition predicted from this modification is found to agree with simulations data for a variety of systems --pure fluids and mixtures with either purely repulsive interaction potentials or ones with attractive contributions. Besides improving the predictions in the long-time limit, and so reducing the non-ergodicity domain, the same modification works as well for the time-dependent correlators.

Abstract
This topical review discusses the quasiuniversality of simple liquids' structure and dynamics and two possible justifications of it. The traditional one is based on the van der Waals picture of liquids in which the hard-sphere system reflects the basic physics. An alternative explanation argues that all quasiuniversal liquids to a good approximation conform to the same equation of motion, referring to the exponentially repulsive pair-potential system as the basic reference system. The paper, which is aimed at non-experts, ends by listing a number of open problems in the field.

Abstract
We use computer simulations to test the freezing-point scaling relationship between equilibrium transport coefficients (self-diffusivity, viscosity) and thermodynamic parameters for soft sphere fluids. The fluid particles interact via the inverse-power potential (IPP), and the particle softness is changed by modifying the exponent of the distance-dependent potential term. In the case of IPP fluids, density and temperature are not independent variables and can be combined to obtain a coupling parameter to define the thermodynamic state of the system. We find that the rescaled coupling parameter, based on its value at the freezing point, can approximately collapse the diffusivity and viscosity data for IPP fluids over a wide range of particle softness. Even though the collapse is far from perfect, the freezing-point scaling relationship provides a convenient and effective way to compare the structure and dynamics of fluid systems with different particle softness. We further show that an alternate scaling relationship based on two-body excess entropy can provide an almost perfect collapse of the diffusivity and viscosity data below the freezing transition. Next, we perform nonequilibrium molecular dynamics simulations to calculate the shear-dependent viscosity and to identify the distinct role of particle softness in underlying structural changes associated with rheological properties. Qualitatively, we find a similar shear-thinning behavior for IPP fluids with different particle softness, though softer particles exhibit stronger shear-thinning tendency. By investigating the distance and angle-dependent pair correlation functions in these systems, we find different structural features in the case of IPP fluids with hard-sphere like and softer particle interactions. Interestingly, shear-thinning in hard-sphere like fluids is accompanied by enhanced translational order, whereas softer fluids exhibit loss of order with shear. Our results provide a systematic evaluation of the role of particle softness in equilibrium and nonequilibrium transport properties and their underlying connection with thermodynamic and structural properties.

Abstract
The purely repulsive soft-sphere system, where the interaction potential is inversely proportional to the pair separation raised to the power n, is considered. The Laplace transform technique is used to derive its thermodynamic properties in terms of the potential energy and its density derivative obtained from molecular dynamics simulations. The derived expressions provide an analytic framework with which to explore soft-sphere thermodynamics across the whole softness-density fluid domain. The trends in the isochoric and isobaric heat capacity, thermal expansion coefficient, isothermal and adiabatic bulk moduli, Grüneisen parameter, isothermal pressure, and the Joule-Thomson coefficient as a function of fluid density and potential softness are described using these formulas supplemented by the simulation-derived equation of state. At low densities a minimum in the isobaric heat capacity with density is found, which is a new feature for a purely repulsive pair interaction. The hard-sphere and n = 3 limits are obtained, and the low density limit specified analytically for any n is discussed. The softness dependence of calculated quantities indicates freezing criteria based on features of the radial distribution function or derived functions of it are not expected to be universal. A new and accurate formula linking the self-diffusion coefficient to the excess entropy for the entire fluid softness-density domain is proposed, which incorporates the kinetic theory solution for the low density limit and an entropy-dependent function in an exponential form. The thermodynamic properties (or their derivatives), structural quantities, and diffusion coefficient indicate that three regions specified by a convex, concave, and intermediate density dependence can be expected as a function of n, with a narrow transition region within the range 5 < n < 8.

Abstract
The last half-century of research into the structure, dynamics, and thermodynamics of simple liquids has revealed a number of approximate universalities. This paper argues that simple liquids' reduced-coordinate constant-potential-energy hypersurfaces constitute a quasiuniversal family of compact Riemannian manifolds parametrized by a single number; from this follows the quasiuniversalities.
