| is an [[water models | 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 [[Coulomb's law |Coulombic interactions]], the molecules interact via long-range [[Lennard-Jones model | 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==
| |
| The [[surface tension]] has been studied for the SPC model by Vega and Miguel.
