The SPC/HW model is an SPC model designed for heavy water. The molecule is modelled as a rigid isosceles triangle, having charges situated on each of the three atoms. Apart from Coulombic interactions, the molecules interact via long-range Lennard-Jones sites, situated on the oxygen atoms, i.e. (Ref. 1 Eq. 1):

Φi,j=[C12rOO(i,j)]12−[C6rOO(i,j)]6+∑α=13∑β=13qα(i)qβ(j)rαβ(i,j)

The parameters are as follows (Ref 1 Table I. Note, in the table the HOH (DOD) angle is given as 109.43 but in the text as 109.47):

parameter value
C12 0.3428 (kJ mol-1) 1/12nm
C6 0.3712 (kJ mol-1) 1/6nm
rOH 1.000Å
∠HOH 109.47∘
qO −0.87e
qH qO/2 (charge neutrality)
rOM 0 (charge sits on oxygen)
