TIP4P/2005 model of water

The TIP4P/2005 model is a re-parameterisation of the original TIP4P potential for simulations of water. TIP4P/2005 is a rigid planar model, having a similar geometry to that of the Bernal and Fowler model.

Parameters

The TIP4P/2005 model consists of a Lennard-Jones site for the oxygen atom, and three charge sites.

Plastic crystal phases

Recent simulations have suggested the possibility of a plastic crystal phase or phases for water

Surface tension

The surface tension has been studied for the TIP4P/2005 model

Self-diffusion coefficient

The TIP4P/2005 potential has a self-diffusion coefficient, in bulk water at 298 K, of 0.21 Ų ps⁻¹ in a classical simulation of 216 water molecules (experimental value: 0.23 Ų ps⁻¹) .

Shear viscosity

The shear viscosity for the TIP4P/2005 model is 0.855 mPa.s at 298 K and 1 bar (experimental value 0.896 mPa.s ).

Liquid-liquid critical point

For the TIP4P/2005 model the liquid-liquid critical point is located at $T_{c}=193$K, $p_{c}=1350$ bar and having a density of $\rho _{c}=1.012$ g/cm³ .

Structure factor

The structure factor, in particular for small wave vectors, has been calculated by Sedlmeier, Horinek and Netz , who observe that the TIP4P/2005 model yields an "almost quantitative agreement".

Virial coefficients

The second virial coefficient has been calculated by Chialvo et al .
