      The method of molecular dynamics is used for modeling the isomerization of a hydrogen bonding network in small water clusters. Furthermore, applying principal component analysis, the authors consider the collective modes of the particles moving in the clusters. They observe that the presence on an abrupt jump in the entropy of the octamer serves as a marker of a phase transitions.
