Key Points

Freezing and melting behavior of water in silica nanopores was significantly influenced by pore size.
Water confined in nanopores showed distinct freezing patterns, with variations in pore filling impacting the result.
Assessment applied across different pore sizes and fillings to explore fluid dynamics.
Understanding these behaviors may inform on fluid behavior in seasonal freeze-thaw cycles.
