density of water?

hello, recently I am interested in density of water and wanna do simple calculator about it. Except this one https://amazingconverter.com/density...f-water-lb-ft3 do you know any good article about it?

The IAPWS model for water, which is built into CFX, has the best model for all water properties (including density). If you are doing a CFX model and want the most accurate material model then just use IAPWS.

If you are trying to get the density of water for some other model (not CFX) then I recommend you use IAPWS still. There are plenty of references on the web on it.

If you want to write an on-line calculator to calculate water density, then this is not a CFX or CFD question so try another forum. Maybe java or something like that.
