English term or phrase: flickering cluster
No seguinte contexto: This means that water will occur both as a solid and as a gas, but by far most commonly as a liquid, at the temperatures experienced at the Earth’s surface. As a liquid it has a relatively chaotic structure (Fig. 4.3a), with the hydrogen-bonded molecules in rapid motion (described as the “flickering cluster” structure).

Reference: agrupamento/grupo bruxuleante

Reference information:
Eu diria bruxuleante:

As moléculas da água (e todas as outras também) estão em movimento constante de agitação, que indica que as
moléculas possuem certa energia, a energia cinética.Essa “vibração” também é denominada agitação térmica - http://www.projetofundao.ufrj.br/biologia/images/materiais/e...
