The SPC/E (extended simple point charge model) [1] [2] is a slight reparameterisation of the SPC model of water, with a modified value for . 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. The parameters are as follows:

parameter value
kJ mol-1
(charge neutrality)

The SPC/E model has a dipole moment of 2.351 D. (Ref. 1 Table I).

Surface tension

The surface tension has been studied for the SPC/E model by Vega and Miguel [3]

Phase diagram

Plastic crystal phases

Recent simulations have demonstrated the existence of plastic crystal phases for the SPC/E model. [4]

Shear viscosity

The shear viscosity for the SPC/E model is 0.729 mPa.s at 298 K and 1 bar [5] (experimental value 0.896 mPa.s [6]).
