Water properties

Flexible SPC water model

The flexible simple point charge water model1) (or Flexible SPC water model) is a re-parametrization of the three-site SPC water model. The SPC model is rigid, whilst the flexible SPC model is elastic with anharmonic O-H stretching. This is one of the most accurate three-center water models without taking into account the polarization. In molecular dynamics simulations it gives the correct density and dielectric permittivity of water.2)
