Nowadays, although our understanding on liquid water have lots of progresses due to the development of experimental tools and computer simulation techniques, the molecular level structure of water, its heterogeneity, is still elusive. In the end of the nineteenth century, Rntgen proposed that the water is a mixture of two molecular complexes, which cannot be confirmed by experiments at that time. In the middle of the twentieth century, Bernal and his followers regarded the structure of liquid water as a random tetrahedral network, which was widely accepted by most scientists. With the development of computer science and the discovery of several amorphism, more and more attentions are paid on the mixture model of liquid water. In this paper, we firstly review some latest evidences about the multiple types of local structure in liquid water in both simulations and experiments. In all-atom simulation, the distributions of the local structure index obtained by minimizing the energy of samples are double peak at all temperatures. In experiment, the X-ray emission spectroscopy of liquid water at ambient pressure shows that there are two local structures in liquid water, one is order and ice-like, the other one is disorder and gas-like. Secondly, some results of our group on this topic are presented. We transformed the Raman spectra into the high-dimensional vectors and analyze the vectors with the principal component analysis method. The results show that all the end points of vectors are in a line in the high-dimensional space which implies that they can be obtained by linearly combining two basic points in that line. This means that the Raman spectra can be decomposed into two basic spectra. We also perform the same analysis on the distributions of tetrahedral order parameter in liquid water and obtained similar results. It is an obvious signal of the existence of multi-component in liquid water. Finally, we introduce the mixture model of liquid water which can be used to explain the thermodynamic properties of liquid water. In the mixture model, the form of the Gibbs free energy of liquid water is the same as the binary regular solution. The free energy is a function of the concentration of the disorder local structure. The anomalies of liquid water are directly caused by the change of concentration of the disorder local structure. In the low temperature and high pressure region, the mixture model has a critical point, which is consistent with the liquid-liquid phase transition theory.
