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. Apart from 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.
