SPC model of water
(Redirected from SPC)
The simple point charge (SPC) model [1] is an empirical model of water. The molecule is modelled as a rigid isosceles triangle, having charges situated on each of the three atoms. As well as Coulombic interactions, the molecules interact via long-range Lennard-Jones sites, situated on the oxygen atoms. The parameters are as follows:

The SPC model has a dipole moment of 2.27 D.
Surface tension[edit]
The surface tension has been studied for the SPC model by Vega and Miguel. [2]
